I have a Onstream SCSI backup drive attached to a Adaptec AIC7XXX card. I'm having problems access the device as I'm now really sure what I should be doing, I've done some hunting around the Net but haven't as yet found anything that has helped.

on boot up i see this

scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.36
        <Adaptec 2902/04/10/15/20C/30C SCSI adapter>
        aic7850: Single Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 3/253 SCBs

(scsi0:A:4): 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 7)
  Vendor: OnStream  Model: SC-50             Rev: 1.09
  Type:   Sequential-Access                  ANSI SCSI revision: 02
st: Version 20040403, fixed bufsize 32768, s/g segs 256
st: Found incompatible tape at scsi0, channel 0, id 4, lun 0
st: The suggested driver is osst.

I can load the module for osst, but there is no /dev/osstx. I've tried running MAKEDEV -n -v update but get the following

/sbin/MAKEDEV: don't know what "osst" is

I'm at a real loss, any / all help trying to get this thing working would be great. I'm using Debian 3.1 on kernel-image 2.6.8-2.

All I'm really wanted to do is use it to backup my Maildir folders.

Many thanks

Gabe
