However, I need the exabyte sypport. You should already have it. I run Exabyte tape drives on two of my FreeBSD (1.1.5.1, though) systems.

If not, perhaps you have a SCSI bus/termination or hardware problem. -- Bob Willcox Internet: bob@tardis.austin.ibm.com IBM RISC System/6000 Division IBM RSCS: BOB at AUSTIN Austin, TX 78758 Phone: (512) 838-3914 Opinions expressed are not necessarily those of IBM IBM T/L: 678-3914
