I've got a Sun 3/140 at home with a SCSI controller and the standard
accompanying Sun shoebox (144 Mb ESDI disk, Emulex SCSI->ESDI, Emulex
SCSI->QIC and QIC tape).  The original box came w/ a Wangtek drive that
would "trap" tapes behind the head.  I replaced it with a used Archive
drive since that was cheaper than getting the Wangtek fixed.  So now I
have 2 tape drive mechanisms and I'm wondering if I can hook them up to
the single Emulex?  I can live with the quirks of the Wangtek for those
times when I would like to dup tapes.  Is this possible?
