Hi,

I just wanted to report that my Wangtek QIC tape drive is now happily
streaming on the DS3100.  I made the following change in tz.c:

                        sc->sc_tapeid = MT_ISVIPER1;
+                } else if (bcmp("5150ES SCSI", pid, 11)

                } else if (bcmp("Python 25501", pid, 12) == 0) {
                        sc->sc_tapeid = MT_ISPYTHON;
                } else if (bcmp("HP35450A", pid, 8) == 0) {

i.e. the driver now treats the Wangtek like an Archive Viper (also a
QIC-150 drive).  There was also an MT_ISWANGTEK symbol in mtio.h, but this
has the same value like a 9-track tape ?!  Remembering the results when
Digital Unix on an Alpha tries to treat a QIC streamer like a 9-track, I
didn't investigate this further...
