I am having problems doing this, and someone here may be able to help.

I have been running for months quite successfully using a 386/20 with 2.3.1 on
a Maxtor using the Future Domain 841 host adapter.  Last week, I got a good
deal on an Archive V150 SCSI tape drive, but ...

  o Runs fine if I boot MS-DROSS from a floppy, so hw install is ok

  o mkdev tape, and answer cartrige, but no SCSI option

  o call Future Domain, and they say that their Xenix drivers do not yet
   support cart tape.

Anyone have a magic wand?
