The -rc6 aic7 driver needs just over 7 minutes to recover from this tape unit. In -rc3 this was 80 seconds. -rc2 had no problem. I don't really need this old tape unit and I don't [re-]boot that often so it is not a problem for me. Anyway, if something needs to be tested then mail me a patch (for stock rc6) and I'll try it. -- Frank
