Subject: controller qlogic ISP1020 and tape drive

Hello
I read in README.qlogicisp that the driver does not support
disconnect/reconnect;
so tape drives doesn't work; system panics after a tape rewind.

This document dated 1996/12/12.

Is it still in this state?

If yes, it'is incomplete or there are bugs?

Thank you in advance

I haven't noticed this problem on my alpha since kernel 2.4 ! Even
though Im not entirely sure what was changed I can say that it works for
me !
