I haven't been able to find anything useful, however I haven't been looking all that hard either. I'm not concerned about the ``st0: bad request, must be between 0 and 0'' error as I am the ILLEGAL REQUEST. This didn't start to show up until I installed 2.0.5-Alpha. I haven't had a chance to try a different tape drive to see if there is a problem with the drive, but I find that unlikely.??! I did a make world with the sources as of June 23 and I am still seeing the problem. Steve Heemeyer sheeme@corpcomm.net
