I have written a Minix device driver for the ST02. I am currently making
major changes to it to fix problems with arbitration and to add support
for a cartridge tape. The ST02 is not an easy device to talk to. My driver
requires patches all over the kernel and now into the FS to support the tape.
I am also working on improving performance since there is no DMA. I am willing
to let beta copies out, but want to wait until I have a clean driver to get
it included in the Minix distribution.
