Hello,

I cannot, for the life of me, get a 2940UW (PCI) to work with my
Wangtek/Tecmar SCSI TR-4 Travan Tape Drive.

Every time I boot I get the following error messages:

Mar 31 17:06:00 www1 /kernel: ahc0 <Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI host adapter> rev 1
int a irq 12 on pci0:17:0

Every time I try to access the drive I get:

www1# tar t
st0: not ready
tar: can't open /dev/rst0 : Device busy

and /var/log/messages says:

prese
nt

There *IS* perfectly functional media present in the drive. In fact, this
same drive used to work with FreeBSD 2.2.5 and a Adaptec "aic" 1520 adaptor.

I am running this system on a genuine-Intel 233Mhz running FreeBSD 2.2.8

Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!
