The SCSI controller, an Adaptec 1542B, and one of the tape > drives, an Exabyte 8200, are relatively standard - not new, but not I can tell you that SCSI Exabytes drives are most definitely supported. The only tape drives FreeBSD has ever dropped support for are tapes driven off the floppy controller (ft device). At work, we have Exabyte, 3480, and ** 9-track ** tape drives hanging off 4.0-stable boxes, some off 1542 controllers. All I can think is maybe your Exabyte is set to the same SCSI ID as another device on your bus, or there is a termination problem affecting the device probe. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
