I think my problem relates to the removal of Onstream Tape support from the kernel. I still have an old Onstream DI-30 installed. I don't care to use it under linux so it's fine if it's not recognized but I wish there was a parameter I could use to avoid probing of the device and the corresponding delay. Removing the device isn't an option as I still use it occasionally under Windows. Thanks for looking though! -- Jim OpenPGP KeyID: 0x006921e Keyserver: ldap://keyserver.pgp.com
