	I have not been able to get the tape device (/dev/rwt0)
	to work properly on 0.1.  I can tar/cpio/afio things out just
	fine, but reading in produces garbage, even with the
	directory reading options.  I have tried various wangtek
	type 6150 drives and controllers.  All which work just fine
	under SCO and sysvr4.  Same thing happens with a tape produced
	on another machine running sysvr4.
	Anyone had good luck with the tape drive?
