Keywords: Hardware Message-ID: <572@brazos.Rice.edu> Date: 26 Jul 89 21:37:56 GMT Sender: root@rice.edu Organization: Sun-Spots Lines: 16 Approved: Sun-Spots@rice.edu X-Sun-Spots-Digest: Volume 8, Issue 86, message 11 of 18 I have an Exabyte EXB8200 tape drive, which I used to have connected to a Sun 3/50 running 4.0.3. No special device drivers were required and the tape behaved as a "standard" st tape to the system. I tried to move the tape to a Sparcstation-1 (4.0.3c), which required a special cable for the connection. On boot time, the message: st0 at esp0 target 4 lun 0 st0: unsupported drive found - ignored appears, and further attempts to access the tape are unsuccessful. Any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong? Has anybody successfully installed an Exabyte on a Sparcstation-1?
