This is terribly obvious, but did you change the Tabu icon tooltypes from
Hardframe.device to scsi.device? Also, on the A3000 under 2.0, you'll
have to change the NEWCON: to CON:.

Earlier this week I had Viper QIC 150 meg tape drive and a WangDAT 3
gigabyte DAT tape drive working with Tabu on my A3000. It looks like
there's a problem with Tabu, because with both tape drives a few files
were not restored, and none of the datestamps were preserved during
restore. Still, it was very encouraging that both the QIC and DAT tape
drives ran on the first try. I also tried an Exabyte 8mm drive, but it
wasn't even recognized by the system.
