Ha ha!  Not according to the Xenix manual and CMS personel!

The CMS Drive in question is a mini tape drive, not a QIC, remember...
although I *did* try rmt0 in an act of desparation, after I'd tried
everything else!

Check out 16.2.2 in the Xenix System Administrator's Guide if you
doubt me.

The "basic problem" was that the firmware revision was wrong...I only
wish it was something so simple...

I doubt if Hercules has an opinion on this; if they do, it's probably not mine.
