I re-installed disconnection in the driver and checked what happens:

using a 4mm HT DAT and command 'tar tvf /dev/st0' my DAT starts to wakeup
but I got no response and 'more /proc/interrupts' in another console gives
me 0, **ZERO** IRQ 5 !!!!. /proc/stats is not better!

In another mail, Alan Cox suggests:

I think he is right (or the problem is related to something like that, since
IRQ is never raised), but how can I force this stupid board (remember, a
port replicator!!) to change its behavior? I've not smart BIOS access for
that board except enabled/disabled !!

Another related question, how I can I force Linux to receive this #@*!~
interrupt (NT receives it after all)
Isn't it a 'force IRQ to something' somewhere that can help ? Now, I think
it's more an interrupt probleme thant a driver problem.

Thanks, christian
