I got no response when I asked this the first time, so I'll try again.

We have an application that needs to be informed if someone inserts or
removes the tape cartridge from a QIC tape drive.  Does the AIX SCSI
driver detect this (it must!), and can the user process be signalled
when it happens?

If not, is there an ioctl I can issue periodically to see if the
status of the drive has changed since my last known operation?

Thanks in advance,
