I tried "insmod st" again just in case, but although the module loaded the tape drive device was still not recognised (mt gave a 'No Such Device' error). I also know that the st driver is working correctly because my external Exabyte tape drive works correctly. I agree that the tape drive has been detected, but unless the drive is listed in the boot messages then it does not appear to be available.=20 The Wangdat 3200 drive does appear to be a bit awkward, the kernel that I had previous to the 2.0.13 version would only recogine the drive on a warm boot and if the drive had a tape in it !!!
