Well, I use Linux and have installed the beta tape driver patches so I
could use my Wangtek 5150EN drive (QIC36?) and it's working very well.
I've got my entire Linux filesystem backed up to tape. With DC6250 tapes,
it'll do 250 megs just fine!
I am not familiar with the tape support under 386BSD, since I don't have
the space to run both right now. :-(
