ch/pass/chio/CAM/Sony AIT tape autoloader

2002-10-30 Thread Matthias Trevarthan 
Hi.

I'm trying to figure out how this works:

I've got a Sony AIT autoloader, model TSL-SA300C. It's a four tape changer.

In my dmesg.boot, it show the changer as a 'pass2' device, but not a 'ch' 
device.

So, I guess my two questions are:

How do I use this changer as a 'pass' device? (couldn't find any programs that 
use the 'pass' device)

And why is it not listed as a 'ch' device? (chio looks like a good program. I 
wish I could use it.)

Thanks!

Matthias

Not very easily.  pass devices are for sending raw SCSI commands to
devices.

Add device ch to your kernel config and rebuild.
