Hi list, I've been trying desperately to get an HP Colorado T4000s SCSI tape drive to work with Mandrake for months and just can't get it going. When I attempt to mount a tape using Kdat I get the 'ole message "no tape in device." The system knows the drive is there; Mandrakes "new hardware" detector found the device on boot and configured it...so whats the problem. As my machine boots I can hear the tape whirring and if I stick a different tape in the drive it will begin to whir again. So at least I know for certain that the drive motors work and it can sense when theres a tape in it. So, how does one begin to set these up and get them working? -- Mark Larry is NOT a cucumber...he's a stinkin pickle...
