SUMMARY: Getting TLZ09 to work on U5

Hi All

First, thanks to the two people who replied. Did not really help me
unfortunately.

Solution

As the drive was an oem version of the Sony SDT7000, I decided to try
downloading the latest Sony Firmware from their website and try updating the
drive. This worked first time and then I was able to use the Sony config
info to config the /kernel/drv/st.conf file and switch settings to set-up
the drive.

All worked 100%.


Original Question:
------------------

Hi All

I have an old DEC TLZ09 DDS2 tape I want to get working on my U5 which has a
X5010A SCSI controller. I can see the drive with probe-scsi-all and have
tried various mods to switch settings (it is an oem version of the Sony
SDT-7000) and to /kernel/drv/st.conf. All have failed to bring the drive in
with a boot -r.

Any ideas on what to try next?

O/S is 2.7, but willing to try 8 if that will help.

Peter
