Hello --
	I have a Colorado Memory Systems Jumbo 40 Mb tape drive
and I am having some trouble when using it under XENIX:
	1)	Sometimes when I boot XENIX I get the message
		"boot error: 11" or "boot error: 10".  Rebooting
		clears the problem.  This never happened before
		I installed the tape drive.
	2)	When I try to tar some files to the tape, it
		goes back and forth, like it is trying to write a
		block and then rewinds, and gets nothing out.
		If I remove the tape and let tar time out with a
		tape write error, re-insert the tape, let it
		rewind, and start tar again, it works fine.
These are not critical problems but they are annoying.  Anyone
else out there experiencing this?
					Thanks,
						John
