Hi!
I'm looking for the proper settings of /kernel/drv/st.conf in Solaris 2.4
for a (standard?) Exabyte 8205 hooked on a SS10. So far, this is what I
have found out by reading the man pages:

tape-config-list=
	"EXABYTE EXB-82058VQANXR1", "Exabyte 8MM hh /w compression",
	"EXB8205-data";
EXB8205-data = 1,0x35,0,0xc239,4,0x14,0x00,0x90,0x00,3;
tape-drive-buffering = 1; tape-driver-buf-max-size=0x200000;

The drive has 1 Mb buffer I'm told. Are the above mentioned values tuned
for maximum smoke :-) or should I alter any of them?

Thanks, Olof
