I have an Everex 2/3 size Qic-36 60Mbyte streaming cartridge tape controller
and wangtek drive, working fine under miserable dos, but refusing to talk
to Unix System V 3.2.
I assume other people are using this combination, and would like to know
what settings they used to get it working.
I did install the cartridge tape utilities, but the new kernel can't access
the device.
Any help mostly appreciated.
Paul.

Oops, got the wrong address set up. Tape is streaming happily now. I recall messages about Everex tape controller/drive combinations not streaming well (i.e. running very slowly despite providing buffering in cpio and similar tricks) but I have no such problems. Of course Unix can't keep up with the tape drive so the drive has to stop once in a while, but making a backup goes very fast and is very convenient now.
