HOW TO USE AN EXABYTE 8500C ON A SUN ??
=======================================
Hi!

I just got an exabyte 8500c , that is a 8500 with data compression .
I've already a 8500 on my Sun but , with the same configuration , the 8500c 
doesn'twork !! Is there anything to add in /sys/scsi/targets/st_conf.c  to 
declare the type  ??

when I try to write on the dev , I have the message :
Jan  8 14:53:09 srtp vmunix: st2:	Generic Drive, Vendor=<EXABYTE >
Jan  8 14:53:09 srtp vmunix: 	Unknown type- assuming 0.25 inch cartridge
Jan  8 14:53:09 srtp vmunix: 	Fixed record length (1024 byte blocks) I/O

and the dev is really seen a boot time :
Jan  8 14:51:06 srtp vmunix: st2 at esp0 target 0 lun 0
Jan  8 14:51:06 srtp vmunix: st2: <Vendor 'EXABYTE ' Product 'EXB8500CMTBANXC0'>

If you have information about it , I'm very interested ...

Thanks
