Hi all,

I'm having problems with this drive and FreeBSD-2.2.5, connected to an
Adaptec 1505 PNP SCSI card.

The (relevant) dmesg output is as follows:
...
Aug 26 20:58:16 bsd /kernel: CSN 2 Vendor ID: ADP1505 [0x05159004] Serial
0x0db37f3c
Aug 26 20:58:16 bsd /kernel: PnP: override config for CSN 2 LDN 0 vend_id
0x05159004
Aug 26 20:58:16 bsd /kernel: Probing for devices on the ISA bus:
...
Aug 26 20:58:16 bsd /kernel: aic0 at 0x340-0x35f irq 11 on isa
Aug 26 20:58:16 bsd /kernel: aic0 waiting for scsi devices to settle
Aug 26 20:58:16 bsd /kernel: (aic0:2:0): "EXABYTE EXB-8505 0050" type 1
removable SCSI 2
Aug 26 20:58:16 bsd /kernel: st0(aic0:2:0): Sequential-Access density code
0x0,  drive empty
...

Note that the drive is not empty as reported.

When I try to access the drive, I get the following on the console.

Aug 26 21:09:52 bsd /kernel: st0(aic0:2:0): timed out
Aug 26 21:11:32 bsd /kernel: st0(aic0:2:0): timed out
Aug 26 21:13:12 bsd /kernel: st0(aic0:2:0): timed out

I have checked termination etc. and this all looks OK.  The tape drive is
the only device on the scsi bus.

Any thoughts on this would be great.

Thanks,
Carey Nairn
