Hi Folks,
Thanks for the information, Hardware Browser lists it as /dev/st I have
tried to get the status of the drive by issuing:
mt -f /dev/st0 status
and I get:
/dev/st0: No such device or address
Similar for nst0, st1, nst1. Please advise. Any help would be great and
much appreciated.
Cheers,
Aly.
