As it stands now, my 1.1 on sparc only sees it as a generic no HW compression device. What do I need to modify for it to work? Back in my Ultrix (fie!) days, we had devices such as rmt08h (to signify hi density and compression). What's the NetBSD equivalent? Where can I find a list of SCSI2 density codes? Lastly, where on earth is the st(4) manpage. I've got every source known to mankind (well almost) and I can't find it. Thanks. ========================================================================== Microsoft and it's minions (employees, MSN, Ziff Davis Publishing Co.) are prohibited from redistributing this work in any form, in whole or in part.
