hi,

anybody out there, who knows anything about scsi-streamers ?
My problem is, that 'mt' is the only program which recognize the streamer.
Tar and dump are not able to read or write to/from the tape.

The following sequence is from the file /private/adm/messages:
---
Apr 30 17:16:27 ccwnoc mach: SCSI 53C90A Controller, Target 7, as sc0 at 0x2114000 
Apr 30 17:16:27 ccwnoc mach: MAXTOR  XT-8380S as sd0 at sc0 target 1 lun 0
Apr 30 17:16:27 ccwnoc mach: 	Disk Label: NeXT_2.0
Apr 30 17:16:27 ccwnoc mach: 	Disk Capacity 349MB, Device Block 1024 bytes
Apr 30 17:16:27 ccwnoc mach: WANGTEK 5150ES SCSI ES41 as st0 at sc0 target 5 lun 0
Apr 30 17:16:27 ccwnoc mach: Generic SCSI Device as sg0 at sc0 target 7 lun 7
---

Next an example for a self-explaining error-message:

/Users/ccwulff 13 > tar cf /dev/rst0 .
tar: tape write error: I/O error

And the help from the 'Console':
---
Apr 30 17:38:53 ccwnoc mach: st: cmd = 0xa sr_io_status = 2H
Apr 30 17:38:53 ccwnoc mach:     Sense key = 0x5  Sense Code = 0x0

If anybody can give me a hint, mail to the address

			ccwulff@ccwnoc.hanse.de

would be preferred.

thanks in advance,
