Hi sun-managers,

        Well thanks again my 1000E is working. I installed the DLT following
the instructions. Well guess what the instrutions were wrong! There was a
line that looked like this:

"QUANTUM DLT4000","Digital Linear Tape","DLT-data";

When I did a scsi-probe the device found was a

Quantum DLT4000

So I change my line to look like this:

"Quantum DLT4000","Digital Linear Tape","DLT-data";

After the reboot the mt status comes back:

b2xsfs29# mt -f /dev/rmt/1hn status
Other tape drive:
 sense key(0x0)= No Additional Sense residual= 0 retries= 0
 file no= 0 block no= 0

I thought this should come back a Quantum DLT or something.

Thanks for the help,

Chatch
