En el c�digo fuente del n�cleo hay soporte para cintas USB
del tipo QIC-157. El protocolo USB para dispositivos de almacenamiento
es muy parecido a SCSI o ATAPI pero sobre conexiones USB
(CONFIG_USB_STORAGE necesita CONFIG_SCSI).
O sea que con un poco de suerte funcionar� la cinta con las opciones
de configuraci�n siguientes:
CONFIG_SCSI
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE
CONFIG_CHR_DEV_ST
pero este �ltimo depende del modelo exacto de cinta que tengas,
la otra opci�n es:
CONFIG_CHR_DEV_OSST
cuya yauda dice:
"The OnStream SC-x0 SCSI tape drives can not be driven by the
standard st driver, but instead need this special osst driver and
use the /dev/osstX char device nodes (major 206). Via usb-storage
and ide-scsi, you may be able to drive the USB-x0 and DI-x0 drives
as well. Note that there is also a second generation of OnStream
tape drives (ADR-x0) that supports the standard SCSI-2 commands for
tapes (QIC-157) and can be driven by the standard driver st.
For more information, you may have a look at the SCSI-HOWTO
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto> and
<file:drivers/scsi/README.osst> in the kernel source.
More info on the OnStream driver may be found on
<http://linux1.onstream.nl/test/>
Please also have a look at the standard st docu, as most of it
applies to osst as well."
