There's only one catch so far - if the unit is still initialising itself when the 'ch' driver tries to talk to it, the latter fails in a messy fashion. It's easy enough to work around this by increasing the SCSI delay, but if you have 40 tapes in the unit and it's busy reading the barcodes off them all, this can be a loooong wait. 8) Is there any interest in debugging this at the moment, or should I hang back until someone familiar with the 'ch' driver has some time to tinker? -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
