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

NAME
aic -- Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 SCSI driver
SYNOPSIS
device aic
In /boot/device.hints:
hint.aic.0.at="isa"
DESCRIPTION
The aic driver provides support for the Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 SCSI controller chips. Many systems that use these controller chips do
not have a boot ROM and therefore cannot be booted from.
HARDWARE
The adapters supported by the aic driver include:
o Adaptec AHA-1505 (ISA)
o Adaptec AHA-1510A, AHA-1510B (ISA)
o Adaptec AHA-1520A, AHA-1520B (ISA)
o Adaptec AHA-1522A, AHA-1522B (ISA)
o Adaptec AHA-1535 (ISA)
o Creative Labs SoundBlaster SCSI host adapter (ISA)
o Adaptec AHA-1460, AHA-1460B, AHA-1460C, AHA-1460D (PC Card)
o Adaptec AHA-1030B, AHA-1030P (PC98)
o NEC PC-9801-100 (PC98)
SEE ALSO
aha(4), ahb(4), ahc(4), cd(4), ch(4), da(4), intro(4), sa(4)
BUGS
The driver does not work well with multiple devices on the SCSI bus. The driver works well with devices like CDROMs and Tape drives. The
driver works not so well with disk drives. The PC Card version appears to work better than the ISA version, but that may be due to differing
levels of testing of the devices.
