You need to make sure that support for the IDE/ATAPI tape drive is compiled into your kernel. Once your kernel supports IDE/ATAPI tape drives, you should be able to access your drive via /dev/ht0 or /dev/nht0 (no rewind)." -- /Richard - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
