These are just a few problems I've experienced with my SCSI Tapes. 1) Using an ExaByte 8200 on a 2.1 system with an Adaptec 1522A and a 1542CF SCSI Card - The dump application exits with the error "st1: bad request, must be between 0 and 0" when using a 8mm video tape. Granted, I should be using data quality tapes but for non-critical backups I don't really have a problem with using them. (They work o.k. with SunOS 4, BSD/OS and Linux). 2) Using an ARCHIVE Python 28454-XXX 4ASB on a 2.1 system with an Adaptec 2940 SCSI Card - a) Occationally while doing backups the kernel reports "/kernel: st0(ahc0:4:0): Target Busy" b) After a dump I always need to execute "mt -f /dev/st0 offline" in order to eject the tape. I am unable to eject the tape using the eject button. Thought I'd pass the information along. -- Charles Green, PRC Inc. UN*X System Administration 22 Powell Ave. Apt.
