I am still trying to get my Archive FT60 1/4 inch tape up on FreeBSD. What versions actually are known to run these older 60mb Archive Sidewinder drives with the Archive SCSI drive card? Mine functions correctly, formats and reads tapes correctly, but does not write tapes correctly. Tar gives an error messages that it is unable to write to the tape.....``unrecoverable I/O error''. Currently on a 3.0 kernel, but I am willing to bring up any version that is known to correctly work this particular tape drive. I was told by another list member that prior to 2.2.2 his tapes worked OK, but after that he was also having trouble writing them. Any pointers or tips are appreciated. Thanks... Bob Keys, rdkeys@seedlab1.cropsci.ncsu.edu p.s. When is 2.2.5 actually going to hit the newsstands????? Anyone know?????
