Re: [SLUG] recognising a scsi card

[Ben Donohue <donohueb@nospam.bvm.com.au>]

Hi, George,
thanks for the email. the card and DAT drive are working all akay now.
yes it does recognise the DAT drive when CTRL A is pressed and scanning the
SCSI bus.
anyway all is working now. the trick was changing the SCSI card to use plug and
play and then inputting the new values into the modprobe syntax.
also the modprobe syntax has to have aha152x in the line twice. something i
wasn't doing.
eg...
modprobe aha152x aha152x=0x140,9
something i found elsewhere on the internet.
anyway thanks for all your help and others too!

ps. how do you list the contents of a tape? i.e find out what is actually
backed up on the tape and list it to a file?
