Greeting Linux SCSI experts:
I need to write a short program for the above mentioned device. I need to
be able to select and load a particular tape into the drive (6 tapes in
the drive). According to the HP manual the SCSI command LOAD/UNLOAD
(opcode 0x1b) is used to load or unload a specified cartridge from the
drive mech. After reviewing the SCSI-Programming howto and downloading
some the SPECS on SCSI-2 that doesn't appear to be correct. If fact the
MOVE MEDIUM command should be used and that the LOAD command merely
enables the drive. Does anyone know the proper command sequence to do
this? Unfortunetly I am a SCSI programming newbie.
Thanx!
