Re: [Networker] Solaris cannot see tape devices - HELP!!!

You may be SOL. Adaptec has drivers for Sun Sparc Solaris
7&8, but not 9. Having loaded an Emulex driver that wasn't
compatible with version 9, I'd be very careful about
installing an Adaptec one. I had to do a full re-install to
get the system back up (/etc/path_to_inst,
/etc/major_to_minor, etc..) were really screwed up.
