I'm evaluating backup devices for NeXT. Major choices are DAT with 1.3GB
and 8mm with 2.3 or even 5GB. Price ranges from $2500 for DAT drives up to
$13000 for 5GB 8mm drives (Delta Microsystems). All of them have SCSI.

My question is whether these devices will run with on of the following 
drivers that are included with 2.0.

/dev/rst0 
/dev/rst0.ori  
/dev/rst1

I will summarize.
