hi
last week i've made my first steps with cygwin mt and tried it on
an hp c1559a dds-2 drive which worked just fine with status and all.
today i've replaced this drive by an hp c1573a dds-3.
mt still seems able to access the drive, since
$ mt -f /dev/nst0 offline
ejects the media, however
$ mt -f /dev/nst0 status
only gives
mt: /dev/nst0: Invalid argument
as result. Same thing for /dev/nst0 and \\\\.\\tape0.
Upgrading to the latest firmware revision (L111) hasn't changed
anything.
is there ea special trick wirth this drive ?
thanks for a hint.

(I'm using the latest (updated jul. 07.) version of cygwin (and mt) on
win xp.)
