   We are experiencing a problem with the "tpsc" driver supplied by
SGI.  It seems that any long tape command (rewind, fsf 10, ...) the
driver holds the bus until the operation has finished.  This is
causing significant delays for other users as all users are effected.

   This driver was supplied in source form with Release 3.2.

   Is there a new asynch version?  Was this an oversight?  
   
   Any help on resolving this would be greatly appreciated!!!
