Dear Port-Alpha:

Please advise how I should add a TLZ06-AA DAT drive to an Alpha 3000/400
machine that's running NetBSD/alpha 1..4.1.

These files already exist: /dev/rst0, /dev/rst1, /dev/nrst0 and /dev/nrst1.
Is it just a matter of connecting the drive to the SCSI bus and proceeding
to use mt to access tapes?  Does it matter which SCSI address the DAT has?
