Does anyone know the specifics of using GS/OS to access a SCSI tape?
I mean like DControl subcalls or whatever.  The Device Driver ref
doesn't seem to have anything about tapes specifically...  

I'm wanting to add SCSI tape support to my TAR program as soon as possible.
Once I learn how to rewind the tape and "open" it if necessary, 
streaming the data out is as simple as DWrite calls (I assume).

So, if anyone can help me.. please do!
