Guys, I got hold of the above tape drive and plugged it into my DEC 
5000/125 running netbsd 1.4 but I don't know what to do from there... 
IE I have never used tape drives before....

When I set the SCSI ID to 5 or 6, and I issue the "cnfg 3" command at 
the boot prompt, the device is recognised. When NETBSD boots, the drive 
appears as tz0 if the scsi id is 5 and tz1 if scsi id is 6.

I have tried mt and tar but the I keep getting an error message. How do 
i troubleshoot this? I have tried this on a Freebsd box and I was able 
to get the drive to spin write to the tape.

Some basics/introductory on how to use tape drives would be good as 
well.

Thanks,
Ash
