Original question:
> Does anyone have either a contact number or the st_conf.c entry for an
> Archive Python DDS2 DAT drive. Here's what shows up when I boot the
> system:
>
> st5: <Vendor 'ARCHIVE ' Product 'Python 28388-XXX'>
> st5: Generic Drive, Vendor=<ARCHIVE >
> Unknown type- assuming 0.25 inch cartridge
> Fixed record length (512 byte blocks) I/O
>
> Or, is there a master st_conf, similar to the master format list for disks?

Thanks to:
Nate Itkin (Nate-Itkin@ptdcs2.intel.com)
Pell Emanuelsson (pell@lysator.liu.se)
Jeffrey Marans (jeff@erie.irc.nrc.ca)
Lee Lindley (ltl@rgsunq.cnet.att.com)

The answers are:
See 1993/08 summaries. Jeffrey pointed this out to me, and was nice enough
to copy it to me. Thanks! I would have checked there first, but I don't
have easy FTP access (have to go to another machine, which is unconnected
from local network).

/* Archive Python 4mm 2GB drive */
{
        "Archive Python 4mm Helical Scan", 14, "ARCHIVE Python",
        ST_TYPE_PYTHON, 1024,
        (ST_VARIABLE | ST_BSF | ST_BSR | ST_LONG_ERASE),
        5000, 5000,
        { 0x00, 0x8C, 0x8C, 0x8C },
        { 0, 0, 0, 0 }
},

One other response had ST_AUTODEN_OVERRIDE, with a comment of auto-density
device. I'm not sure what this one is.

Also, Nate pointed out that you also have to change
/sys/scsi/targets/stdef.h to include

#define ST_TYPE_PYTHON 0x2c

and /sys/scsi/targets/mtio.h (actually, on my system this was installed in
/sys/sys/mtio.h) to include

#define MT_ISPYTHON 0x2c

Thanks to all.

Steve
