Dave, if you have run the 'mkdev tape' routine, installed the 'mini-cartidge'
driver, and still have trouble ( as I did ), you'll just need to pick up the
MCART driver from SCO ( I believe its xnx146 ), which gives you an entire
daemon driver that handles the tape flawlessly. It really acts like a real
tape drive now, tars perfectly.
