I can successfully dump/restore to/from the tape. The man page for FreeBSD's /sbin/scsi command seems like it could be used to send low level hex commands to scsi devices, but I can't locate info on just what to send. dmesg reports: (aha0:0:0): "ARCHIVE Python 28849-XXX 4.CM" type 1 removable SCSI 2 st0(aha0:0:0): Sequential-Access density code 0x24, 512-byte blocks, write-enabled Thanks in advance, Jeff jbetts@netpath.com
