Tape Drive Not Detected

Hi,

Under my old setup (aic7xxx driver version 4.1.1 with kernel version
2.0.33) I had no problems with my WangDAT 3200 tape drive. 

However when I installed SuSE Linux 6.3 (aic7xxx driver version 5.1.21
with kernel version 2.2.13)  the drive was no longer detected. 

The hardware configuration has not changed, and the Internal CDRom is
always detected and works perfectly.

I have patched aic7xxx up to version 5.1.28, but the drive is still
not detected.

Any suggestions as to what I need to do to solve this problem would be
appreciated.

Thanks
Alun
