DRIVER NEEDED: IBM IBM Ultrium TD3 (Linux) [SCSI]

[NiceFreddy]

Hi,

I am really in a pickle. I have an IBM Ultrium TD3 tape drive many of whose features work off of generic Linux drivers but for all features to work and to use Tivoli Storage Clients and Server with it, I need to have the actual IBM drivers. But when I go to their fixit central, I can never find it. I sometimes stumble across IBM 3580 drivers which might work, but I even have trouble downloading them. Any help appreciated. I am NOT running Solaris or Redhat linux but it might work on my Linux which is Fatdog. I don't know.

Perhaps this is the OEM version of IBM 3580-TD3, but I really don't know. My drive says IBM. Perhaps it's not IBM , it's OEM?

At this point, I will even settle for a Windows XP driver.

It says no driver loaded or needed when I check in the Control Panel. Really?

I am downloading a trial of Tivoli - maybe it will tell me something like, "Only windows 2000 and 2003 are supported. But perhaps the built-in XP will at least work a little? Not at all perhaps.
