Both tape and the adapter are terminated. When it is recognized, the message says, there is no tape in it (whether there is really or not). My attempts to do either ``mt rewind'' or ``tar cvp /somthing'' lead to the eventual timeouts (kernel message about st0 timing out), and the tar or mt processes to become unkillable (they are in kernel, right?). This is a fancy hardware, and it is pretty embarassing I can not make it work... Any suggestions? Tape came with docs, but they primarily talk about HPUX... Thanks, -mi -- "Windows for dummies"
