	Despite trying hard on the weekend, I don't understand the
SCSI subsystem yet.  I have an old Sun4/260 that has a cartridge
drive that doesn't seem to like NetBSD.  I am told that this drive is
known to act up (and constitutes somewhat of a hack itself).

	First, I'd like to know what are the chances that this drive
can be made to work.  Secondly, if I got a more modern SCSI QIC tape
drive, and popped it in, would it be likely to work?

Dave.
