do you know the info for that port? 9600,8n1? DTE or not? etc.
you need to have software that recognizes the robot.
I set
up a couple of 97xx series libraries a few years back for Experience Music
Project.
so it's not just a "regular scsi device" then? my SPARCstation LX running
NetBSD 1.6 certainly can't see the robot, although it sees the drives just
fine.
do you know where to find the special software to run this thing? StorageTek
seems to think this thing never existed.
we used a Clariion branded LVM (Library volume
manager) that, in
conjunction with a raid array made the tape drive look like a 17 terabyte
disk :)
oh, that's too cool.
