SCSI too?  I use SCSI drives all the time.  The supported hardware
page doesn't mention them but they always work.  That's why I assumed
that the ATAPI one would work too.

Hmm.  Looked at some of that code and I don't think I know enough about
ATAPI or tape drives to do this.  Is anyone started on this?  Can I throw
a little money at someone to get it moved up their list?

I moved this to current-users. Seems more appropriate there now.
