That is what I've been told by an Exabyte engineer years back. I can only guess that some OEMs need adaptations to the firmware behaviour that are incompatible with what the rest of the world needs (or has standardised on, e.g. in the ANSI SCSI standard). Again, guessing. > have have precisely these firmware levels in them (2680 & C034). Also, Mine works OK with that f/w. Not that I use the 8200 often anymore, I like my DLT4000 much better than the 8200. ;-) Groeten / Cheers, | / o / / _ Arnhem, The Netherlands - Powered by FreeBSD - |/|/ / / /( (_) Bulte WWW : http://www.tcja.nl http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
