I have several of these scsi tape drives, and need to get them working with fbsd225. They are 160MB DCAS (data cassette) drives, and I have been using them successfully for years with DOS and BSD/OS, so I have lots of data stored on cassettes which I need to get access to. When I try to access the tapes, I get an "illegal request" message, plus an "oops not queued" when I try to read or write. Apparently there is a mechanism for defining device-specific parameters for these drives, as "quirks", but there are none defined for these drives. Also, I haven't found any clear guide for how to set one of these quirks entries up. The drive is a scsi-1, 512 byte fixed block, data cassette drive. I have the technical manuals, so I think I could put together whatever information is needed. I also have an mt-2st/f50, which is the 600 MB big brother--I haven't yet tried this with fbsd, but I will need to get it running as well. What is a good place to begin with this? -Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
