QIC tape drives - success

[cnoyes at maui.webo.dg.com (Chuck Noyes)]

Hi all.

Just a word of thanks to all those who responded to my query
on QIC-150 tape support. Last night I re-ran "make config" and
specified scsi tape and disk (I have one of these too) support.
Then I ran "make dep", "make clean" and "make zImage". Reinstalled
lilo and shut the system down. I rebooted the new kernel and
the tape drive worked (no sweat...). However I found that
there must be a tape loaded in the drive or the kernel won't
"see" it.

It's working fine now...

Thanks again...Chuck
