I have no problems building the stctl package on this Ultra 30 using
gcc-2.95.2 running under Solaris 8. My backup device is an ADIC-1200
fitted with a Sony SDT-9000. The stctl driver happily detects the ADIC
attached to the SCSI port of a PCI SunSwift card.
The trouble I'm having at present is probably not directly Amanda- or
stctl-related in that the robotics in the ADIC do not seem to behave
properly when I try to load or unload a tape, and I think there might
actually be a state-related problem with the position of the gripper arm
at power-on.
It was working fine when this machine was a Sparc 20 running Solaris 8,
but that was over a year ago and between now and then I've had no regular
backups running at all, mostly because the time to put into getting the
ADIC unit to behave as it used to hasn't been available. 8-)

Craig.
