Gigatape on 4.1.1

 

The problem was that the Sun tries to use the Gigatape with

the SCSI synchronous mode. And it doesn't work! I hope our vendor

will setup the Gigatape to correctly use this new protocol!

You can disable this mode with the following patch:

        # adb -w /vmunix

        scsi_options?W 0x58

        scsi_options: 0x78 = 0x58

Thanks tostern@east.sun.com who sent the patch.

Thanks also tomis@usenix.org and tilman@indetech.com.
