Try loading the advansys module - "modprobe advansys" - I'm not sure if it's available/compiled.

If you're keen to use the DAT-drive, maybe it would be worth buying a cheap Adaptec adapter off ebay - the AHA2940 is good and very reliable.

In Googling 'modprobe advansys', I came acros this link which talks about this board being deprecated from the kernal but should be reinstated in 2.6.17. http://www.users.bigpond.com/vkelim/SuSE_notes/node124.html Looks like it might be easier to get a more up-to-date scsi adaptor, though. Thanks, Per, for your help and advice. Regards J
