I see an atapist device in /sys/conf/NOTES:

device  atapist # ATAPI tape drives

, which might work.  The atapicam or ahci device may also make sata
tapes show up as if they were scsi devices.  Try ahci first.

And please, in case you try, let us know the results...
I know I'm not helping you, but I've tried many times to find out 
whether SATA *and SAS* tape drives are expected to work.


 bye  Thanks

Will the OS just see a tape drive on a SATA controller as a  
sequential-access SCSI device the way it sees SATA disks as SCSI block  
devices?


Quoting Michael Anderson michael.ander...@elego.de:


Hello,

I'm looking to replace a busted tape drive with a Quantum DLT SATA
drive. Is this supported?

Thanks!
