| I did enable the feature. However further testing shows something else,
| presumably hardware problems is going on. I can't access the driver via either
| 2.5f of the NCR53C8XX drivers or the Adaptec 2940UW driver (both of these
| previously worked with the drive, and I didn't do any hardware hacking). So
| now the problem is who fixes DAT drives, and what do they charge :-(

Even curiouser, after switching cables, scsi adapters, etc. for 2 hours, I left
and it still wasn't working, but I left the cover off. At 3am my normal dump
kicked in, and it worked (on Linux 2.1.105). I'm suspecting heat now. I have
an order for an external SCSI case to move the disks off to, to try and lower
the temperture. Sigh....
