RE: qlogic isp + tape drive = panic

["Marcus Williams" <marcus@quintic.co.uk>]

Hi -

It might be worth checking out the QLogic drivers from
NetBSD/FreeBSD etc that also work under linux at
http://www.feral.com/isp.html

I had similar problems with my qlogic drive and the drivers fixed
some of them. Apparently the disconnect/connect business is
actually untrue but for some reason it still says it in the docs.

Hope it helps,

Marcus
