I must concur.  My NetBSD/sparc 1+ can't do JACK with a tape drive.

Where the _hell_ is the st support?  And a properly working 'mt'?
They've been missing WAY too long!  I want to be able to back my
machine up to a LOCAL tape drive (some of us can't afford more than one
machine -- should we be punished?).

 * I usually make backups to my PC running BSD/OS 2.0.1 (for hysterical
 * reasons). My Tandberg TDC-3600 hasn't failed me once. In fact, when my SCSI
 * bus on the PC is screwy (it's been so lately), I move it to the NetBSD
 * Sparc and just backup my BSD/OS box to my Sparc.

As I said, some of us can't afford more than one machine!

Wishing that said SCSI expert hadn't been driven away BEFORE he had the
chance to implement the st code...
