I just bought a
Tecmar Travan NS20 IDE tape drive. Took me a while to figure out that I
should use the IDE-SCSI shim to get it to work.
One question.
There are 4 modes for the driver, tied to device names /dev/st0, /dev/st0l,
/dev/st0m, and /dev/st0a. Anyone know what the different modes are?
I would guess that one is with compression on. Anyone know which does
what?
I've started running
typetype, but if the research I found is true, it'll take 5 hours for each
device type.
Thanks.
