Bug 61284

Version:           2.0.1 (using KDE KDE 3.1.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:          Linux

Well, I see that others have tried this too.. Although I might have digged more deeply into it.

The parallel port Travan drives (all of them) shows up as /dev/pt0 if you load these modules;

parport
paride
epat
pt

I can use tar, star, cpio and taper to do backups, but I feel that I want a lot more than those..  I've tried Arkeia, Legato, TapeWare and a few others without any luck, almost every package out there expects a drive to sit on the SCSI bus, if it doesn't, you're toast..

I can't use mt very successfully either since Travan drives doesn't support all commands (And you just TRY to find out WHAT they support!).

So, I hope you can fix this, it shouldn't be too hard if it's supported by those standard linux utils.
