	I need to know how to use tar, and/or cpio with tapes under AUX.  
I am using the 1.1 beta3 and have correctly setup the kernel and have
the /dev/rmt/tc*.  I am able to format the tape with mt but get read and
write errors with tar and cpio. tar cf /dev/rmt/tc5 *.  There is no action
on the tape when I do this.

Question: Does the tc driver require the APPLE tape drive or will any
	3M dc-2000 mech. do the trick?
