Does it mean I can set Dat-Compression with comp 1 but the drive won't be switched to that mode? What does the kernel have to do with this, as this simply should "just" be a scsi-command (like mode-select) on the device?? Do you know more?? Well, thanx for pointing my eyes on this!!!! _ralf_ >Ralf Folkerts writes: > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > > > > Hi, > > > > I have a question re. a DDS-II Streamer (ARCHIVE Python 28388-XXX 4.CM) and > > Hardware-Compression: > > > > With OS/2's GTAK I can use "compr on" to turn on my Drive's Hardware-Compression.
