>I have just installed a Seagate STD28000N (aka ARCHIVE Python >04687-XXX Rev: 6580 according to dmesg).
Greetings, Been a while since I've been around on this list, however things have progressed. I have successfully installed two older Compaq EISA Pentium 90 machines, each wtih 4 gigs of space, and 128MB of RAM, all of which are visible to the respective machines. On the first machine, I have mounted two 7-changer CDROMs which seem to work just dandy, and the second machine, has an ADIC 4mm Virtual Library. The two Sony 4mm DATs inside are visable, and I successfully did a backup, by moving the robot arm out of the way, inserting a tape, performing a backup with TAR per the how-to's, then eject. My question is as follows: Does anyone know of a piece of software, driver, or something that enables the robot arm to move? I have the documentation somewhere, so if I could just send SCSI commands, I could use a script scheduled by CRON to achieve what I'm trying to do. Thanks in advance!
