Which drive do you have ? (there are F or G
variants),
According to the back of the enclosure - TK50Z-GA. So
it's a G then? The tape mechanism is an E4.
and which linux version are you using ? I thought
the TK SCSI don't work
on "standard" linux, as the return an error in the
SCSI Inquiry command
(it is too long)
Debian Linux. It certainally seems like it works,
although as it discovers the devices on bootup,
neither the SCSI controller nor the Linux kernel can
read anything off the drive as far as manufacturer or
model. It manages to figure out that it's a tape drive
though, because I can use it via /dev/nst0, and mt
works fine with it. I was also able to read a tape
just fine.
