- I recently installed an Archive Python SCSI DAT drive on my system
- (NeXTStation Mono running NS 2.1) for backup purposes. However, I
- have been unable to use tar on the drive. I always get an 'I/O error'
- when I run tar and the associated SCSI error is as follows.
-
-
- st: cmd = 0x15 sr_io_status = 2H
- Sense key = 0x5 Sense Code = 0x1a
-
-
- According to scsireg.h the SCSI command causing the problem is MODE
- SELECT and the sense key (0x5) indicates invalid request. Does anyone
- know the solution to this problem ? Any help is appreciated.
