 I use a Wangtek 5150ES off my 1542B and it runs along quite happily.
I use the following to back up:

find . -print | cpio -ocvBO /dev/tape

and it works great and streams right along (and using . instead of /
allows one to pick and choose file systems or even partial file
systems to back up). I get outstanding rates on the backups, too.
