I hooked up a HP35450A DAT tape to Xenix 2.3.2GT with an Adaptec 1542B
controller. [hint: doesnt work with Rev.B HP firmware, must be Rev C].

This works, except that on every device close, the tape gets *ejected*
from the drive. Needless to say, this doesnt make it too useful in 
a unattended-backup situation.

Any clues/minor number magic/kernel patches?
