I have the Archive Fastape model 60 and SCO 386 2.2.1 which came
with a driver installable via the link kit and 'mkdev tape'.  But,
it will not write in the high density format.  I.e. 60Mb on a 600
foot tape.

I wonder if the driver from release 2.3.2 will work with 2.2.1 or
maybe I need to order an update from SCO.  (probably prohibitively expensive)
