All,

I am looking to install a Seagate Travan 10GB/20GB IDE Tape drive into a
Debian box.

My question is, what kernel support would one build into the kernel in
order to get such a drive working?

My first thought would be to use the IDE-SCSI Emulation and then enable
the SCSI Tape support.  After that use the mt tools as if it were a SCSI
Tape device.  Would this work?

BTW, please cc me in replies as I am not a regular subscriber to this
list.

Thanks
