No matter what happens with its spindown spinup activity, you cannot get it to eject once you have used it under FreeBSD. The little button that normally ejects it will not eject the cartridge unless you reboot and try to eject it before you use it under FreeBSD. > Weird. Any chance that you'll get a SCSI Reference Manual from them? Hmm. I hadn't even thought about trying. I suppose I could, though. Do you know if it is something I'll have to sign an NDA for? -matt -- Matthew C. Mead mmead@Glock.COM http://www.Glock.COM/~mmead/
