Ira, Based on what Sergey Korzhevsky reported back in March, I would think that the commands you need would be mknod /dev/btibm0 b 254 0 mknod /dev/btibm1 b 254 1

I have finally succeeded in writing to tape. Now i am trying to mount the tape as a block device so i can read it as suggested in the device drivers doc. I do a... mknod /dev/btibm0 b 254 4 and a.. mknod /dev/btibm1 b 254 5 and linux accepts this without complaining and shows up in /dev I then do a....mount -t iso9660 -o -ro,block=2048 /dev/btibm1 /mnt i get as a response.... mount: /dev/btibm1: unknown device I guess no pain no gain.. :) Once again....TIA Ira Hochner Mainline Information Systems (954) 575-0413 (office) (954) 294-1719 (cell) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (email)
