    My IBM DDS2 drive is attached to my onboard Adaptec SCSI port and it only
    works when referred to as /dev/sa0. There are many /dev/listings for the
    drive, however there are complaints with some software, like Bacula, when I
    try to use the /dev/rsa0. So, I assume that /dev/sa0 is okay.
