In article <199606180117.SAA00342.kithrup.freebsd.hardware@kithrup.com> I write: >One problem, that I also had with the previous tape drive: if it boots with >a tape mounted, it says that the "density code" is 0x0; with the last one, >that then meant that I would get an error when I wrote a tape. (This may be >a problem with the 1.1++ SCSI driver, admittedly.) Oh, yeah, I did want to mention the WORST part of the whole deal: twisting SCSI cables. My hard disks, of course, can be oriented right side up, or upside down. However, my CD-ROM drive and my tape drive have a definite "up" position -- and they each have pin1 of the SCSI connector on a different end! *grumble* It was enough to make me understand why people go with external units ;).
