Thanks to Bob Smart, It works just fine as Bob said. Sometimes we forget the simple fixes. It has been more than a few years but I never had to do anything other than make sure the SCSI device number was 4 or 5 to get any SCSI 4mm or 8mm tape drive to work with SunOS 4.x (Solaris 1.x) I may have forgotten something but did you try just hooking it up and using it? I used at least DEC & HP branded 4mm (maybe a Data General 4mm also), as well as 8mm from various sources. Most of the drives actually came from a couple actual manufacturers. This was back in the days of DDS1 and DDS2 4mm standards.

The installation manual doesn't give any of the necessary information for modifying the st_conf.c and streg.h files. I have a Sparc4 server running Solaris 1.1.1b. The drives are connected via an Adataco external scsi rack. I tried to contact the Seagate web site, and customer service, but they no longer support this tape drive. The business was sold to Maxtor, but there is no information on the Maxtor web site for this drive. I need to get this tape drive working as soon as possible as the orignal EXB-4200 tape drive failed. Please help! Send email and I will summarize to the list.
