Sony SuperStation Tape Drive


I am running RedHat Enterprise Server 4.0, and I've installed a Sony SuperStation tape drive, the linux finds the tape drive and assigns it as /dev/hdc but it does not appear anywhere in the dev folder. It shows in the hardware browser as /dev/hdc as well. It does say the drivers are not installed or are built in. Could this be a driver issue or is it something else, any help would be appreciated, we'd like to use it for backing up, but can't get it to work

Is the ide-tape module loading? If not try the command
modprobe ide-tape

The device ID will be /dev/ht0

If that does not work you can also try using the ide-scsi module. In that case the device ID will be /dev/st0
