  This doesn't make any sense:  a tape on ID 6 will be configured as
tz1 and referenced as /dev/rmt1.  /dev/rmt0 will be unconfigured.

  I hooked a TZ30 up to a 5000/25 as ID 6 and get:

    tar: can't open /dev/rmt0 : Device not configured

  Using /dev/rmt1 results in:

    asc_intr: data overrun: buflen 12 dmalen 12 tc 0 fifo 0

followed by a reboot.

  I've used the TZ30 before, but I don't remember if it was on a 3100 or
a 5000/25 (which are two completely different SCSI drivers). It
definitely doesn't work now with the ASC driver (1.3 as well as
-current).

  [Hmmm - I just booted Ultrix and verified that the tape drive was
working, and the tape still contained data from when I was testing the
drive on NetBSD.  It would appear that the testing was done on the
5000/25, so I know the driver did work at one time.  Looks like something
broke since September 1996.]
