It did work on and sun-3 with sunos-4.0.3 and >it works also with a dg av200d running dgux-4.3.1 . the problem with the emulex controller is that it does not answer to a request for identification. some versions of Unix don't like that. Esix for instance doesn't recognize such a setup as being a scsi tape drive, Solaris x86 does, and supposedly Linux can be made to work with it too. what is needed is a patch to NetBSD to make it assume that the unknown device is a tape drive.
