Does anyone have experience with an getting an Exabyte 8500 to
work under RH4.2? I'm seeing some strange behavior from mt --
specifically with setdensity (both in hex form and decimal). I can
set density to 20 (0x14), but not 21 (0x15) which the 8500 should
support. Plus, when running in 8200 mode, I'm not able to write as
much to the tape as I expect I should -- I have a 1.6 Gb partition
that's overrunning the tape.

I have a new firmware upgrade tape coming in but I suspect that
might not be the problem.  Does anyone else have experience with this
setup or something similar that might shed some light on my problem?

Oh, I've also upgraded to the 2.0.33 kernel in the hopes it'd make
a difference (though the SCSI tape section of the kernel hasn't been
touched in years). It didn't help, either.
