Lines: 20 I try to use an Archive 2525 525Mb scsi streamer drive with 386bsd. It is connected to an Adaptec 1542A (not B). When I use the 'stock' as driver (patchkit 0.2.2) it kind of works, apart from various error messages (controller error 12). Using Julian's drivers, the st driver complains that 'write filemark failed' when trying to cpio to the tape. Reading a tape written on another machine (which can be read by the stock as driver BTW) only yields '0x00's from the tape. Anybody out there who succeeded in using such a streamer drive? Any suggestions are most welcome Wilko -- | / o / / _ Wilko Bulte mail: wilko@idca.tds.philips.nl |/|/ / / /( (_) |d|i|g|i|t|a|l| Equipment Enterprise voice: +3155-432062 fax: +3155-432103 DTN: 829 2062 PO Box 245 - 7300 AE Apeldoorn - The Netherlands
