We have an SCO Open Server running over and SCSI Adaptec 2740 with
and SCSI Streamer and DAT. The streaemer runs ok in SCO but not in
Pick AP 6.01. When I load the Pick System the streamer goes correctly
under SCO and the device is /dev/rdsk/rStp0. The problem consists on
the streamer is accesible from Pick but it always say Parity error.
Thanks in advanced.
Wishing hearing from you.

As a guide the entry in pick0 file for our two SCT tape drives are below. The
first is a 60MB QIC02 unit, second is a 525MB SCSI.
tape /dev/nrct0 16384 q ls /dev/xct0 # tape 4
tape /dev/nrStp0 16384 q lh /dev/xStp0 # tape 5
Below is my understanding of how these entries work for tape drives
Field Desc
1 tape (type)
2 no-rewind Unix device file
3 default block size
4 type, q=quarter inc, d=DAT (AIX only ?), v=8mm, f=floppy)
5 density (descriptive only ?) meaning varies on type
6 Unix control file for device. Important for tape status commands
7 # = comment marker

I have both a Wangtek QIC-02 and a Conner DAT. How do I get AP to
recognize both devices. So far, it only recognizes the SCO default
tape, whichever I make it. I would like to address the Wangtek as
"set-device 2" and the DAT as "set-device 3". Any hints?
