Tape Device Polling
Posted by Stephen Boettcher on July 9th, 2003


I'm trying to find a way to stop a Tape Device Driver
from polling the Tape Drive I am trying to use. I am
using SCSI Passthrough Direct calls to send commands to
the Tape Device, but the Tape Device driver seems to be
sending Test Unit Ready commands and on occasion Load
comands to the device while I am trying to write to it.
Any ideas on how to accomplish this without disabling the
driver? I know the commands stop when the driver is
disabled, because I can see them stop on the SCSI
analyzer. I am creating a handle to the device at the
SCSI miniport driver layer.
