The Quantum web site says the the parameters should be "1A" in the tape drive table, but my 2.1.5 release only shows dump parameters up to hex "17" or so. I faked it out on the command line by specifying 82000 bpi, and 2 million feet of tape, so at least when the changer hits the end of the tape, it will call for the next tape. I'm on shaky ground here.... But if it works, I can get 40 gig per tape times 7 cartidges. Anyone with any experience with the Quantum DLT drives under FreeBSD?
