Scsi Recognition Of Tape Drive

Hello I have an Advansys ASC3030 SCSI card on a Linux Redhat 7.2 machine. It is connected to a Seagate CTT8000E-S tape drive. When booting takes place it recognizes the SCSI card and all its parameters as displayed by a "dmesg" command but it fails to display any details about the tape drive connected to it. In "/etc/fstab" there is no listing of any tape devices. I have terminated the tape drive, ensured that it is powered and switched on and connected properly to the SCSI card with a SCSI connector. There appears to be no way to know whether it is on as the LED above the tape on the drive is not lit and there are no other LEDS. Any help would be appreciated. Frank

I've never worked with tape drives before, but post us the output of CODE cat /proc/scsi/scsi cat /proc/partitions
---- Windows is like Linux, only stuck in runlevel 6.

Hello Plaz The /proc/scsi/scsi file states that there are no attached devices. The /proc/partitions file contains the following: major minor #blocks name rio rmerge rsect ruse wio wmerge wsect wuse running use aveq 3 0 3153024 hda 3271 10535 107724 53390 1810 4296 48828 122030 0 48750 175870 3 1 52384 hda1 25 428 906 570 13 5 36 250 0 820 820 3 2 2907072 hda2 3186 9662 102778 51260 1644 2931 36680 104610 0 47410 156320 3 3 193536 hda3 60 445 4040 1560 153 1360 12112 17170 0 4100 18730 22 0 114950 hdc 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 -8 227900 41126472 22 64 98304 hdd 18 0 36 430 0 0 0 0 -12 243180 40296662 22 68 98288 hdd4 12 0 24 180 0 0 0 0 0 180 180 I have a 3GB hard disk and 100MB Zip disc.

I have verified that the SCSI card is an ABP940-U/ABP960-U card. I have tried to get help from Initio the company that bought bankrupt Advansys 3 years ago but they claim they do not have any information about the card.
