Casting all previous experience to the wind, I once again post
to the black hole that is c.o.386bsd.q.  Anyway, I have what
is claimed to be a QIC-02 SCSI controller for my tape drive.
I do not know for sure that it really is SCSI.. I've heard
everything from, "QIC-02 is scsi compat", to "QIC-02 has nothing
to do with scsi."

At this point I don't really care much.  Linux has a driver for it.
What would it require to port it to netbsd?  I'd really like to 
get this drive working so I can backup my stuff and start
playing with netbsd-current.

If anyone knows how to get a QIC-02 controller working under
netbsd please let me know.  If there's some default generic
scsi setup that I can use.. please let me know.  I attempted to
try an aha setup to see if it's compatible but lacking all
documentation for kernel configs it appears to have had no 
effect at all.

Any help at all is appreciated.
