Hello managers,

I'm trying to connect a HP C5683A DDS-4 tape (actually bought at
transtec as a T71DL4000T with the named tape device in it).

Connecting it to the scsi-bus and scanning the bus for the device came
out with no problems. But, I cannot access the device

The SCSI-hostadapter is a Qlogic ISP1040B/V2. The kernel says at boot:

isp0 at pci1 slot 2
isp0: QLOGIC ISP1040B/V2
isp0: Firmware revision 5.57 (loaded by console)
isp0: Fast RAM timing enabled.
scsi1 at isp0 slot 0

Created the *rmt* devices (should be tz24 - bus 1 target 8). Added a DDR
entry in /etc/ddr.dbase . Look like the COMPAQ device listed there.

But whatever I do, whatever devices I create, I had no luck accessing
the tape either with dd nor with tar (correct flags -f <dev> appended -
of course).

Even the kernel does not recognize the device in the boot message.

Hey, I don't want to bother you with a lot of messages, only to give
complete information.

Well, what do I miss ??
