QIC tape drives

[cdr at sme.siemens.com (CD Rasmussen)]

Just say yes to the standard SCSI tape question, I believe its right
after the SCSI tape drive question in config.  Make sure your mach8ine
has a /dev/rst0 and when you boot, the SCSI driver will say that it
found 1 SCSI tape.

I recommend using the mt_st found on sunsite.unc.edu and it mirrors.
It has commands for SCSI tape that are not supported by the standard
GNU mt.  I have replaced the GNU mt with the mt in the mt_st package.
Some people with QIC-150 tapes find that they do not need the
alternate version of mt.  BTW, the alternate comes from BSD, it was
not specially written to solve SCSI problems in Linux.
