  I notice that while I have a normal dearth (man 7 mt (:-))
of information on the /dev/mt devices, the new 8mm drives 
are as yet undocumented.
  So, we have in /dev/mt, the following:

crw-rw-rw-  5 root      22,  64 Jul 20 16:13 hc0
crw-rw-rw-  5 root      22,  64 Jul 20 16:13 hc0d4
crw-rw-rw-  5 root      22,  65 Jul 20 15:57 hc0d4n
crw-rw-rw-  5 root      22,  65 Jul 20 15:57 hc4

  Note, please, that none of these have minor devices 0 (normal)
or 4 (norewind).

  I'll happily guess, but a hint from someone who knows wouldn't
hurt.  I'll even donate a man page if someone can give me the
real skinney on it, or tell me which FM to dive into.
