I'm running a 3.2 box with a 8505 on a 2940 and seem to have a problem
getting the device to function properly.

It is probed properly and it appears that things are going to go well:

SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched!
sa0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 4 lun 0
sa0: <EXABYTE EXB-85058SQANXR1 0781> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2
device
sa0: 5.000MB/s transfers (5.000MHz, offset 11)
da0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 3 lun 0
da0: <MICROP 3243-19   1128RA 28RA> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device
da0: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15), Tagged Queueing
Enabled
da0: 4095MB (8388315 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 522C)
da1 at ahc1 bus 0 target 6 lun 0
da1: <SEAGATE ST39173W 5764> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device
da1: 20.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit), Tagged Queueing
Enabled
da1: 8683MB (17783240 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 1106C)

and then if I try to use it:

(sa0:ahc0:0:4:0): LOAD UNLOAD. CDB: 1b 0 0 0 1 0
(sa0:ahc0:0:4:0): NOT READY asc:3a,0
(sa0:ahc0:0:4:0): Medium not present
(sa0:ahc0:0:4:0): REWIND. CDB: 1 0 0 0 0 0
(sa0:ahc0:0:4:0): NOT READY asc:3a,0
(sa0:ahc0:0:4:0): Medium not present

It seems to work for a second, however, the lights go out and it eject
the tape.  I thought it was a bunk tape and tried others, including a
cleaning tape.  No go.  I should add that I've attempted to set density
via mt from my previous script:

/usr/bin/mt -f /dev/rsa0 density 0x8C

The device has worked for a couple of years and I don't believe that it
has died.  I could be wrong, however, I seem to have read that othes are
having a very similar problem with some 8200's.


3.2 RELEASE 2x200MHz PPro
128MB RAM
ahc0 is a 2940 and ahc1 is a 2940UW.

The Micropolis on the same controller works fine (I'm sure it'll follow
its company to the grave soon...)  I've seen some recent traffic on the
subject and was wondering if there was a) resolution b) additonal
debugging need to get it working.  (I _need_ a backup)
