Well, I managed to get the SDT-5200 working, and found out it's only a 4GB drive with no compression (swore I read it was DDS-2 8GB). The 24GB Seagate is useless. NO GO. I had to replace it with a 8GB Seagate, and it works fine. The problem seems to be the ASUS SC-875 controller, and the Seagate 24GB Python. The Adaptec 2490 works, and now so do the other drives. I want to thank everyone for their help. If ANYONE figures out how to make a Seagate STD224000N (PYTHON 04106-XXX) drive work with Linux, e-mail me. Regards, Don Polak Graham Smith wrote:

They are all new or used in that drive before, but under a different format. I'll try the one tape that worked before to see what it says.

What does mt -f <dev> status return? (subsitute <dev> with the tape device on mine it is /dev/st0 )
Also have you tried reading a tape?
Another thought, have you tried running 'rescan-scsi-bus.sh' Occassionally I have found that the drive is not detected on the Bus on boot-up. The above command comes with the scsi utilities if you don't find it installed.
