A potential user brought in an 8mm drive.  We put it into the SCSI daisychain,
restarted the system, and used SMIT to say that there was another tape drive
on the stystem.  When we try to use it (eg, tar), the system keeps asking us
to mount volume 1 and hit enter.

Do I recall that there was some discussion on this a few months back? 

Any help/comments are appreciated.

Thanks  ... Dave
