Dear List: I've been trying to get my SCSI tape drive to work under Windows/XP Home Edition and CYGWIN and having absolutely no luck. My tape drive is recognized as an "other device" so Windows is clearly aware of it. I have CYGWIN Version 1.5.10.3 (which should be the latest) and MT package Version 2.3. When I do a mount command, I get: bash: /etc/profile: line 185: syntax error: unexpected end of file bash-2.05b$ mount C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode) \\.\tape0 on /dev/st0 type system (binmode) \\.\tape0 on /dev/st1 type system (binmode) \.tape0 on /dev/tape type system (binmode) c: on /cygdrive/c type user (binmode,noumount) d: on /cygdrive/d type user (binmode,noumount) bash-2.05b$ Which looks right to me, and when I try various flavors of mt, I get: bash-2.05b$ mt -V mt V2.3, Corinna Vinschen, Apr 19 2004 bash-2.05b$ mt -f /dev/st0 status mt: /dev/st0: No such file or directory bash-2.05b$ I am able to umount the drive, but when I try to mount it again, I get: bash-2.05b$ mount \\.\tape0 /dev/st0 mount: warning - /dev/st0 does not exist.
bash-2.05b$ mount C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode) \\.\tape0 on /dev/st1 type system (binmode) \.tape0 on /dev/tape type system (binmode) \.tape0 on /dev/st0 type system (binmode) c: on /cygdrive/c type user (binmode,noumount) d: on /cygdrive/d type user (binmode,noumount) Any and all help would be appreciated. The tape drive does work fine under Linux on the same PC, so I know it's not a connectivity issue.
