yup:

Aug 13 10:48:56 taranis /kernel: (aic0:4:0): "ARCHIVE Python 25588-XXX 2.96" typ
e 1 removable SCSI 2 
Aug 13 10:48:56 taranis /kernel: st0(aic0:4:0): Sequential-Access density code 0
x13, 512-byte blocks, write-enabled

(DIP switches enable SCSI-2 & Parity, Self test = off, reserved = off)

and then later:

Aug 14 12:28:07 taranis /kernel: (aic0:4:0): "ARCHIVE Python 28388-XXX 5.45" typ
e 1 removable SCSI 2
Aug 14 12:28:07 taranis /kernel: st0(aic0:4:0): Sequential-Access density code 0
x13,  drive empty

term power off, term off
