- Howdy!
-
- I have a 9-track tape drive that I'd like to get working under 4.0.5.
- It used to work on the machine that was running 3.3, but that has since
- been upgraded. Everything works except for the variable block size stuff.
- There is no device in /dev/mt to accomodate it. I saw Dave Olsen's
- earlier post, but I need some more specifics. Here are the details
- about the drive (from mt stat):
-
- Controller: SCSI
- Device: HP: 88780 A657
- Status: 0x20266
- Drive type: unknown
- Media: READY, write protected, at BOT (I have a tape in right now...)
-
- Any info would be greatly appreciated!
