Hi
Further to my previous post, there is a parallel port tape device in the
2.4.18 kernel of SuSE 8.0
/dev/pt0          First parallel port ATAPI tape
and /dev/npt0 (non rewinding)
Details taken from
/usr/src/linux-2.4.18.SuSE/Documentation/devices.txt
Thanks Basil,
I just tried a simple 'mt -t /dev/pt0 retension' but it reports
mt: /dev/pt0: No such device

So, I guess it's not recognised?  Or do I have to make the system aware of
the drive in any way?  I just plugged it in to the parallel port and tried
to run..
