The promise site says the card is atapi compliant but it did not work that way for me. I had to move hard drives to the promise and add the dvd burners to the on board esata. YMMV Good grief.

Promise TX4302 eSATA card doesn't play with a Quantum DLT-v4 tape drive
I have a FreeBSD 8 server with a Quantum DLT-v4 tape drive. I'd been using it over USB but want to switch to eSATA for various reasons. Here's the dmesg entry for the drive when connected via USB: sa0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 scbus0 target 0 lun 0 sa0: Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device sa0: 40.000MB/s transfers Here are snippets of dmesg when connecting the drive via the new Promise TX4302 card I just installed: atapci0: port 0xdc80-0xdcff,0xd800-0xd8ff mem 0xdfbff000-0xdfbf,0xdfbc-0xdfbd irq 66 at device 7.0 on pci3 atapci0: [ITHREAD] atapci0: [ITHREAD] ata2: on atapci0 ata3: on atapci0 ata4: on atapci0 ata5: on atapci0 ata3: SIGNATURE: eb140101 ast0: FAILURE - MODE_SENSE timed out ata3: SIGNATURE: eb140101 ast0: FAILURE - MODE_SENSE timed out ata3: SIGNATURE: eb140101 ast0: FAILURE - MODE_SENSE timed out ata3: SIGNATURE: eb140101 ast0: FAILURE - MODE_SENSE timed out ata3: SIGNATURE: eb140101 ast0: FAILURE - MODE_SENSE timed out device_attach: ast0 attach returned 6 ...and then device ast0 never appears. Any idea how I can get these two pieces of hardware to play nicely together? -- Kirk Strauser ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
