Yes. Sometime between 3.0-RELEASE and -STABLE mjacob (sorry if my memory failed me) made a overhaul of the tape support in CAM. I dont remember exactly what rew of the firmware i have (this is my home system), but i have used both releases that is on Exabytes homepage. For details, search the -current mailinglist for mail from me <johan@granlund.nu>. /Johan zoonie <zoonie@myhouse.com> on 99-01-28 16:58:48 To: Johan Granlund/Solid AB cc: stable@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: exabyte 8200 & CAM ok, so basically i need to upgrade to 3.0-STABLE before the drive will work. i was wondering if that would work. do you know what version of the firmware you have installed on your tape drive? thanks....
