Which release of NetBSD ?
I have 2 DLT 7000 library, one connected to a tekram DC390, the other one
to a adaptec AHA2944 (which is the differential version of the 2940),
which work flawlessly. Recently I added a SDLT320 library, also connected
to a DC390, and it works fine too. All of this on 1.6.x, I can't really
upgrade these systems to 2.0 yet.

Also, what errors do you get with the tekram ? commands timeout too ?
