Could you elaborate on that please?  Just what tape drives have you used it
on?  I thought QuarterBack only talked to "filesystem" type devices... So
you'd need a tape drive that emulated a filesystem or a driver that made that
translation.  In other words can it talk to a SCSI direct (scsi.device)
type tape?
