This is the correct media for the drive to read and write?
good question. i don't know. it's a travan drive, so i'd say that all
TR-3 and TR-4 should work. i do have the original tape that shipped
with the drive though, and that doesn't work either...
It's correctly installed on the ide chain? Does the manual have
anything to say about needing to be a master or slave?
the bios detects it, and so does linux, so this leads me to believe
that yes. and it is!
To get my ide tape to work, I had to add
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
to lilo.conf.
I once tried to use an ide-tape drive with 4/8 gb travan tapes to no
avail. Even though I could dump to the drive I never could get anything
back. I'd check it very well before you trust it.
mh, that's no good news...
