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.
