The problem was that the Sun tries to use the Gigatape with
the SCSI synchronous mode. And it doesn't work! I hope our vendor
will setup the Gigatape to correctly use this new protocol!
You can disable this mode with the following patch:
# adb -w /vmunix
scsi_options?W 0x58
scsi_options: 0x78 = 0x58
Thanks to stern@east.sun.com who sent the patch.
Thanks also to mis@usenix.org and tilman@indetech.com.
