Does anyone know of an Interactive sys V compatible driver for
Everex external tape streamers ? The tape drive is Wangtek, and
the controller seems to be also, bit the firmware is Everex
homebrew so the Wangtek driver that comes with ISC does not work.
It initializes the drive correctly, seems to do what tar tells it
to do, but nothing gets on the tape. That is also a wellknown
problem with Novell's tape utility that supports the Wangtek
driver.

If no one knows of a driver, does anybody know how to program the
darn thing ??
