Mounting Tape Drive
Sorry I posted it in wrong forum first.
OK, I'm new to Unix (but an IT since DOS 6.2 era) Long story short I'm trying to help a friend who has failing Unix system which is perhaps 16 years old with SCO Openserver 3.4v4.2 with DDS90 Tape where they backup their data. I've setup a Dell Precision 390 with Unix 5.0.7 HW version and installed a Adaptec AHA-2940AU PCI card (on SCSI default ID 7) with Seagate Scorpion STD224000N Tape Drive (on SCSI ID 6). Question is how do I find the tape and how do I mount it so I can restore the data from the old machine to this.
Please help.
Thanks

AHB(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual AHB(4)
NAME
ahb -- Adaptec EISA SCSI host adapter driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device scbus
device ahb
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
ahb_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
This driver provides access to the SCSI bus connected to an Adaptec AHA-174X host adapters in ``enhanced'' mode. Tagged queueing and syn-
chronous SCSI transfers are supported.
HARDWARE
The ahb driver supports the following SCSI host adapters:
o Adaptec AHA-1740
o Adaptec AHA-1742
o Adaptec AHA-1740A
o Adaptec AHA-1742A
CAVEATS
The Adaptec 174X is very sensitive to SCSI bus termination and cable length. It may also have difficulties operating with some modern
devices that, due to their speed, expose timing problems in the controller. There are no known mechanisms for working around device incom-
patibilities of this nature.

AUTHORS
The ahb driver was written by Justin T. Gibbs.
