The best success I had was using a device driver that the company I bought it from supplied (Perfect Byte). However, HP-UX 6.5 and 7.x do include an unsupported scsi tape driver. Look in /etc/master to start. Someone may be able to provide you with minor numbers for different modes. -- =============================================================================== Ian Hogg ianhogg@cs.umn.edu (612) 225-1401
