Doesn't matter if the st module is loaded or not. If it's a SCSI tape drive, and if it's connected to your SCSI controller, and if the SCSI driver for your SCSI controller is loaded, the tape drive will show up as a SCSI device. Does your SCSI controller have a BIOS? Does the tape drive show up in the SCSI bios? nate
