Well, I have been thoroughly unsuccessful at getting Linux to see my SCSI
tape drive.
I have a Future Domain SCSI adapter and an Exabyte 8200 (I used these two
together on a previous Intel-based OS/2 machine).
I can install the 'fdomain' module successfully. But none of the possible
tape devices work. I also have tried installing the 'st' module, but it
doesn't seem to help.
I installed KBackup and tried to have it test for a tape and none of the
/dev/nst* or /dev/st* devices even made the Exabyte make a noise.
I had previous problems with the "ftape" module, so recompiled it out of
the kernel.
Any ideas for debugging this situation?
Thanks
