I had an internal Exerex tape drive which used cassette sized
cartridges and an Everex controller, the combo worked just fine.
I did have to set the IRQ correctly, however.  The Everex card 
comes set for IRQ 3, this conflicts with COM2 I believe.  The
wt driver is set up for IRQ 5 in the /etc/conf stuff, just 
jumper the Everex card for IRQ 5 and it should work fine.
