I am running 4.7 and using an adaptec 2940 PCI card. I have a HP external scsi tape drive. While this all works, I noticed the following: Unless the tape drive is connected to the scsi bus and TURNED on, when I boot the machine it will not allow me to later use any tape commands. It returns "device not configured". Is this normal? I thought that I would be able to simply connect up the tape drive and power it up whenever I wanted and leave it off and disconnected when not in use. What am i missing? -- J.D.
