We recently purchased a EMULEX TC7000 controller and
a CDC 92185 streaming tape drive (this is the KEYSTONE tape
drive used by the TU80 plus 6250 bpi GCR mode).  This seems
to be working, except for the streaming, and the fact that when the drive
is rewinding the system "hangs" on till it is done.

"hangs" = Keyboards do not respond and when the rewind finishes
the "dmf silo overflow" messages appears.

Is there a bug in the TU77 driver?  Does it have to act this way?  

Does anybody know how to get it streaming?  I'd appreciate any help
anybody could give me.
