As I indicated in the Summary:, on this machine, the major device
numbers in question show up as 12 (by issuing "ls -lg /dev/sxt*") --
which also corresponds with the position of the sxt??? devices in the
"cdevsw" array of structures in /usr/src/sys/conf/conf.c.

My understanding is that UniStride is supposed to be compatible with
the NCR Tower series; I am not at *all* certain that the device
numbers would necessarily be the same.  (Internal consistency, however,
is a rather different issue....)

Hope you find this helpful; if I can be of fruther assistance, please
feel free to mail directly.
