Hallo Gérard,

thanks for your quick response.

         3.*  2.5f
	 r w  r w (= read/write)
2.1.107  ? ?  + + (3.* = 3.1f)
2.1.128  + -  + +
...
2.1.131  + -  + + (3.* = 3.1d)
2.1.132  - -  - -
2.2.1    - -  - -

("-" = io-error, "+"= works fine)

2.1.107 + 3.1f (from 2.2.1) gives:
: gt-priv [1] tar tvf /dev/rtm0
: tar: Cannot open /dev/rtm0: No such file or directory
: tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
???

"cat /proc/scsi/scsi" still says:
: ...
: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 00
:   Vendor: HP       Model: HP35480A         Rev: 1009
:   Type:   Sequential-Access                ANSI SCSI revision: 02

: gt-priv [4] ll /dev/rmt0
: crw-rw-rw-   1 root     disk       9,   0 Sep 28  1996 /dev/rmt0

(The kernel make log for 2.1.107+3.1f has no errors. A few harmless 
warnings are about console, bttv and soundmodule.)

cu,
Gerhard.
