The following is a fragment of a piece of mail I received from a friend who
doesn't have newsgroup access:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
                              Do you know of any info on st506 and scsi
interfaces that can be obtained??  I have a tape drive (QIC 40 format) that I
wanted to play around with device drivers with.  Of course this is on
the AT controller which the tech ref doesnt specify what kind of interface
it is......  I dont know what the command strings are supposed to be for the
various operations like rewind etc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

He's running SCO Xenix on an IBM AT (no clone).

If anyone has any relevant info or can point me at some, I'd appreciate
it a lot.  If you think you might know something, but the fragment above
is unclear, I'll try to get you a more detailed picture of what the guy
wants to know.

Thanks in advance;
