What a typo! To: linux-sig at bcs.org Subject: Re: QIC tape drives Date: Wed, 09 Aug 1995 13:51:36 -0400 From: CD Rasmussen <cdr at sme.siemens.com> Just say yes to the standard SCSI tape question, I believe its right after the SCSI tape drive question in config. Make sure your machine ^^^^ should be disk has a /dev/rst0 and when you boot, the SCSI driver will say that it found 1 SCSI tape. I recommend using the mt_st found on sunsite.unc.edu and it mirrors. It has commands for SCSI tape that are not supported by the standard GNU mt. I have replaced the GNU mt with the mt in the mt_st package. Some people with QIC-150 tapes find that they do not need the alternate version of mt. BTW, the alternate comes from BSD, it was not specially written to solve SCSI problems in Linux.
