- The following articles should help you. Note that you normally want the

- Try the following major & minor numbers on your 8.07 system:
- 54 0x201#4b - Berkeley no rewind
- 54 0x201#4a - Berkeley rewind
- 54 0x201#49 - AT&T no rewind
- 54 0x201#48 - AT&T rewind
- where # is replaced by the SCSI ID of the tape drive. Note that the device
- should be set up as a character device.
