I would like to use this drive on Solaris 7, 8 or 9 since it is in house already. Does anyone have the st.conf changes that are required?
If I can't find the appropriate changes, it's going to the bone yard and I'll get an Exabyte VXA-2!

Thanks,
John

 
I think the following st.conf entries should work for you:

{ The formal syntax is:
tape-config-list = <triplet> [, <triplet> *];
where
<triplet> := <vid+pid>, <pretty print>, <data-property-name>
and
<data-property-name> = <version>, <type>, <bsize>,
<options>, <number of densities>,
<density> [, <density>*], <default-density>; }

( for meaning of flags)


vid+pid == &quot;OnStreamADR Series&quot;
pretty print == &quot;OnStream ADR Series&quot;
data-property-name == &quot;ONST_ADR_QIC&quot;


#&quot;OnStreamADR Series&quot;, &quot;OnStream ADR Series&quot;, &quot;ONST_ADR_QIC&quot;,


version == 1
type == MT_ISQIC == 0x32
bsize == 32768
options == ST_QIC | ST_BSF | ST_LONG_ERASE | ST_AUTODEN_OVERRIDE | ST_KNOWS_EOD |
ST_LONG_TIMEOUTS | ST_BUFFERED_WRITES == 0x0526A

ST_VARIABLE 0x0001 NO, 32k fixed block records only
ST_QIC 0x0002 YES, it is a QIC compatible device
ST_REEL 0x0004 NO, cartridge media
ST_BSF 0x0008 YES, Backspace over a # of EOF marks
ST_BSR 0x0010 NO, Backspace over a # of records
ST_LONG_ERASE 0x0020 YES, Just to be sure
ST_AUTODEN_OVERRIDE 0x0040 YES, Device 'knows' media type
ST_NOBUF 0x0080 NO, Device supports Immediate commands
ST_KNOWS_EOD 0x0200 YES, EOD position is always known
ST_UNLOADABLE 0x0400 NO, Just to be sure
ST_SOFT_ERROR_REPORTING0x0800 NO, &quot;request sense&quot; or &quot;log sense&quot; when the device is closed
ST_LONG_TIMEOUTS 0x1000 YES, just to be sure
ST_BUFFERED_WRITES 0x4000 YES, Device does buffer the write data
ST_NO_RECSIZE_LIMIT 0x8000 NO, no variable-length tape device
ST_MODE_SEL_COMP 0x10000 NO, no hardware compression to set
ST_NO_RESERVE_RELEASE 0x20000 NO, default reserve behaviour
ST_READ_IGNORE_ILI 0x40000 No, no variable block device
ST_READ_IGNORE_EOFS 0x80000 NO, don't ignore
ST_SHORT_FILEMARKS 0x100000 NO, no short filemarks supported

number of densities (specified) == 4
All densities with value 0 as the drive does not support hardware compression.
default-density == 0

#ONST_ADR_QIC = 1, 0x32, 32768, 0x0526A, 4, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0;


Perhaps a few minor adjustments are required ... this was meant for the ADR2.60 ide tape drive.
