Hello,
  A question for all of you out there that have a tape drive that sits on 
your floppy drive ribbon cable (IDE):  I am using /dev/wt0 and am not 
getting a 'Cannot open output "/dev/wt0"' error.  Am I doing something wrong?

Here's what happens when I try to dump:

rws49# dump 0usdf 425 35000 /dev/wt0 /dev/wd1e
  DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Fri Dec  1 23:28:53 1995
  DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
  DUMP: Dumping /dev/rwd1e (/usr) to /dev/wt0
  DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
  DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
  DUMP: estimated 190713 tape blocks on 1.91 tape(s).
  DUMP: Cannot open output "/dev/wt0".
  DUMP: Do you want to retry the open?: ("yes" or "no") yes
  DUMP: Cannot open output "/dev/wt0".
  DUMP: Do you want to retry the open?: ("yes" or "no") yes
  DUMP: Cannot open output "/dev/wt0".
  DUMP: Do you want to retry the open?: ("yes" or "no") no
  DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.

I have a Colorado Jumbo 350 that uses DC 2120XL (425 feet) tapes.
I am makeing a guess at the BPI for 35000.  Thanks in advance.

Grant
