HP & Linux discrimination

[Barry Hill]

Hello folks!

I am unable to get my HP C1599A SCSI DAT tape drive to work with Linux. 
Both KBackup and kdat (which I'd like to use) report verify errors.

I phoned HP and they said they couldn't help as it was Linux and 
that I should contact the author of the program.

I tried it out in a Windows machine running Seagate Backup Exec, and 
it works perfectly!!!

Has anyone experienced this before, or have any tips which would get 
the thing running with Linux?


Regards,

Barry
