hi!

i'm having problems with the WANGTEK 135Mb Streamer from COMPAQ. I am using
SCO's 2.3 XENIX for the COMPAQ 386-16.
When using the command tape erase or tape rewind it *seems* to do the job.
But using tar won't work (the streamer drives the tape around a bit and then it hangs).
Anybody know how to handle this? Or is the compaq streamer/xenix driver
pure JUNK ???

so long,
				felix
