Quoting david brenner
I have an IDE Travan TR4 Tape drive. It is the primary IE device on the secondary channel (hdc).
Using KDAT, I have tried to mount it as dev/tape, dev/hdc0, 1, etc...
How do I figure out what device type it is to mount it?
The short answer is that you can't mount it. It is a character device, not a block device. The longer answer is that there probably are packages that fake it and make it look like a extremely slow block device for specific formats (e.g., tar, cpio). HTH, Jeffrey
