I have old SCSI tape drives, but they don't show up using my firewire to SCSI adapter, and I don't have a SCSI controller that will work at all in my G5. Does anyone out there have a tape device which actually shows up in /dev? If so, what does it show up as? Correct me if I'm wrong [please do - I have an LTO Ultrium drive that needs plugging into an XServe] but there hasn't been any support for the UNIX SCSI tape driver (i.e. /dev/st) in OS X or Darwin since 10.0 (OS X Server 1.x had it, IIRC). Unfortunately this means that without some extension (probably commercial) you can't just use a SCSI tape :-( There was an SF project to create a tape driver, http://sourceforge.net/projects/darwin-tape, created a few years ago but so far no releases - anyone know the status of it? -- Graham Lee GPG Key ID: 01D5B9D8 UNIX Systems Manager, Oxford Physics Practical Course Coordinator, UKUUG Apple SIG (http://lists.ukuug.org/mailman/listinfo/apple-sig) Technical bod, Oxford Mac Users' Group (http://www.oxmug.org) This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
