ME-TOO. ;)
Tandberg SLR4, SLR5, SLR60. There are two distinct issues here for QIC
derived drives:
o support for variable block length (which all the SLR models do just
fine, and which st(4) does not even read for QIC)
o 1FM@EOT vs. 2FM@EOT (which is relevant for writing more than one file on
a tape -- think 'Amanda')
Matthew, if you are interested, I can send you the patches I use at work
(and will have to re-apply soon when I upgrade the machine's kernel).
