Hi all,

Apologies for the lengthy email.

I had sent this to alpha@, but no replies as yet so I thought somone here
could help.

I have a Sony SDT-10000 DDS-4 tape drive that i recently put into my
PWS-500au, attached to the built-in isp SCSI controller.

When the system boots, these messages appear on the console

Waiting 5 seconds for SCSI devices to settle

sa0 at isp0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
sa0: <SONY SDT-10000 0101> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device
sa0: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit)

I've never seen these messages before, but they appear now once the tape
drive has been added.

I'm also unable to actually do anything with the device -

loop@erwin ~ % sudo camcontrol tur 0:0:0
Unit is not ready
loop@erwin ~ % sudo mt status
mt: /dev/nsa0: Input/output err

If I turn off tagged queuing at this point, things start to look up ...

loop@erwin ~ % sudo camcontrol negotiate -n sa -u 0 -T disable
Current Parameters:
(pass0:isp0:0:0:0): bus width: 16 bits
(pass0:isp0:0:0:0): disconnection is enabled
(pass0:isp0:0:0:0): tagged queueing is disabled

loop@erwin ~ % sudo camcontrol tur 0:0:0
Unit is ready

However-
loop@erwin ~ % sudo mt status
mt: /dev/nsa0: Input/output error

Any advice?

cheers,
Rob
