Gaine) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Exabyte 8205 on FreeBSD Date: 21 Nov 1995 19:03:36 -0500 Organization: Rutgers University Lines: 12 Message-ID: <48tpco$4j4@pilot.njin.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: pilot.njin.net Summary: exabyte Keywords: tape drive I am running FreeBSD 2.0 and I have an Exabyte 8205. The drive does not seem to be supported by the kernel. Is there a kernel patch that I can install, or do I have to go to a new version? The drive does work, but it is real slow and the mt command will not return drive status telling me that it is an unknown tape drive. Please eMail answers. Rick Gaine rgaine@pilot.njin.net
