We have several systems at work running SCO XENIX 386, and all but one have
60 meg tape drives.  One, a DELL, has a high-density 150 meg tape drive.

Is there some simple way, w/o getting a new driver, to make the 150 meg 
drive use 60 meg tapes?  We'd like to be able to read the tapes on our 
other machines, without replacing the drive.  A new driver is not out of
the question, but it'd be nice to find a way to use either kind of tape
via software.
