Does anyone know if this combination works?

   CPU:  i486
   OS:   NetBSD-1.0
   SCSI: Adaptec 1540C
   DAT:  WanDAT 1300XL

When I boot up, I see the drive, but I only get "/dev/rst0: device busy"
when trying to access it.  I can't even get it to accept a tape!

I'm wondering if I have a bad drive, or if my OS simply doesn't support it.

TIA.
Fen
