The Viper 525 is kind of a problem with 386bsd. I have one myself ;-)
Work is in progress to get it working correctly in the different tape modes
(QIC24, 150, 525) by a modified version of st.c (Julian's tape driver.

So, have some patience, and you'll probably get a working driver.
No time table tho.

(NB the driver stuff is some kind of US/Aus/European partnership. Hi Dave,
Julian)
