Hmmm... I'm using a Wangtek 5150 on an Adaptec 1542A under ESIX and it works
just fine.  I'm not using the high performance disk stuff though.

Operation seems OK.  I log in as root, and do the following:

    cd /
    find . -print -cpio /dev/rmt/stape4

to do a full backup.  Works fine, lasts a long time.  Oh, my Wangtek is
set up as SCSI device 4.
