I'm looking at putting some 8mm and/or dat tape drives on our set
of RS-2030's, RS-3230's, and RC-3230's.  Could someone out there
who has already done this please let me know the following :

 - which SCSI address did you us? (did you simply replace the
   QIC at 6? or can both happily live on the same system?)

 - which devices (/dev/mt/???) address these drives

 - any tape type-specific parameters such as tape-length
   and recording density for tools such as 'dump', 'tar', 
   'dd', ... ?

Many Thanks In Advance!
Cliff
