Hey,
Finally, after long searching, I'm ready. Some months ago I
was given an HP tape drive by the head of IS where I work. But

Thanks for the suggestion,
I took a quick look at the documentation & the command is
taper -T scsi
but it still doesn't work. When I select "Restore Module" taper does not

If your scsi card is recognised, then watch when the system boots. It
should show what linux thinks is connected to the controller. It's

Any suggestions?
