What, > specifically, does "mt" not do for you? Sorry to butt in here, but for my Exabyte 8200's it won't let me set blocksize. This seems to be necesary to get the drives to work properly. I have to set blocksize to 0 (variable). There is also some support in st for setting density, but I haven't used it (8200's are single density). -- Bob Willcox ...!{rutgers|ames}!cs.utexas.edu!uudell!obiwan!bob Austin, TX or try: @uudell.us.dell.com:obiwan!bob 512-258-4224 (home), 512-838-3914 (work)
