I just borrowed another DDSII drive from a friend and tried to use it but I got error messages like: % cat /dev/st0 st0: block wrong state (worm) block 2048 cat: /dev/st0 Input/output error Are DAT-DDSII drives supported in NetBSD or FreeBSD, or is support on the way? (Please say yes, please say yes...) Thanks, David Pletcher dpletche@dave386.risc.rockwell.com
