However, there is a way to add an IDE tape drive from the command line. Here are the instructions:

1. Add the line "insmod ide-tape" (without the quotes) to the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file.
2. Add the tape entry in the /etc/devs.conf file.

   An example is given in the file for reference:

   #[TapeDrive]
   #st0=SCSI Tape 1 <-sample scsi drive line
   

   A sample of what you might enter:

   [TapeDrive]
   ht0=IDE Tape 1
   

3. Reboot or run /usr/netmax/etc/rc.d/Devs.first (for 3.x products) or /etc/init.d/netmax_devs (for 4.x products)

You should now see the drive in the interface, under backup devices.

NOTE: This is for reference only as we can only support the interface. Any command line instructions are done at your own risk.
