- If you are running 8.07 (NOT 8.05) you should be able to connect a SCSI-QIC
- drive. I have used my SUN X660W (150Mb) drive on my 710, using the
- following device files:
-
- crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 54 0x20144a Jul 1 13:53 /dev/rqic/0
- crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 54 0x20144b Jul 1 13:52 /dev/rqic/0n
-
- Note: the driver 'scsitape' must be configured in your kernel.
