Thanks to all who responded to my question regarding the Wangtek
streaming tape drive and Interactive Unix on the 386.

The problem was the IRQ set on the Wangtec driver board was
different from the IRQ the Unix driver was configured for.

A simply change of the IRQ jumper on the Wangtec driver board,
and the streaming tape was as fast as ever.
