Greetings,
I am trying to configure a DAT tape drive on Dell PE 840 running SCO
5.0.7.
On boot I see for the Seagate DAT-72:
Slot #3
Ch A
ID 6
LUN 0
BUS 16
And the tape drive is connect to a Adaptec 39320A. I have loaded the
AD320 driver and configured the tape drive as:
ad320
Host adapter = 0
Bus = 0
Target = 6
Lun = 0
However i get "can't open 'dev/xct0' when i do a 'tape status' - any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated~!

Hi there,
What is the output of sconf -v
Maybe the host adapter might need to be 1.
Foz.
I usually install UnixWare, but it seems the one time I installed
Openserver, I had to use the mkdev tape command for that tape to get
recognized - apparently open server is not plug and play!

OpenServer5 is not P&P as far as tapes and disks are concerned;
OpenServer6 *is*

Shot in the dark: perhaps you really want /dev/rStp0, or /dev/*tp*.

Edit /etc/default/tape, change xct0 to rct0 (or rStp0) and tape status
will work.
