Hello all!

If someone has the HP 35401A jukebox (eight tapes, 9144 drive + picker)
they might want to add the three lines (which I'll promise to PR)
from

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-hp300/1999/08/06/0000.html

The jukebox works when the drive is set in "continuous"-mode.
On load-up it loads the first tape it finds and when issued 

# mt -f /dev/rct0 offline

it unloads and fetches the next tape available. Works nicely
with gnutar and the --info-script switch (if you add sleep(1))
I don't have the selective mode working, I might have to check if C_SVOL()
has anything to do with it. Docs would be nice:-)

I recently also received a bunch of other drives incl. 7946 + hd,
a big hunking 7974A 9-track (Thorn-Emi Datatech) and a HP-IB based
DDS-drive (HP6400 1300H). Since there's no support for HP-IB DDS
drives and it seems to have a normal HP C1502 SCSI DDS inside, can
some one help me out with the jumpers on the drive ?

Stuff to dream about:
MI-HP-IB to be shared with port-hp700 (port-hp800 (and what the heck was
hp600 ?))
