Osst supports the IDE/ATAPI variant of the OnStream tape drives (DI-30 and DI-50). I have been wondering about what to do given that I had read before that ide-scsi is on its way out but have not seen any discussion that covers what to do instead in all cases. If someone can give me instructions on how to bypass ide-scsi when driving the DI-30 from my osst tape driver, I'll be happy to work on that. I am pretty sure there are also generic ATAPI tape drives, (I have one I use for comparison) but ide-tape may be what we want to be used to drive them (though it is not in great shape either). If we want to get rid of ide-tape too, Kai Makisara (st.c) would have a use for the same ide-scsi-replacement as I'm going to need. Thanks, Willem Riede.
