Brad,
	I have the same wangtek drive and 60meg tape.  Mine was stripped 
from an AT&T box.  I read and write find.  I had some problems with it
before but after getting my kernel majorly patched with all the patches that
have come along it is working.  You must configure your kernel to recognize
the drive.  Assuming you have the same controller as I and need to know
I can provide you with Jumper settings to set your address to 0x300 and irq
to whatever(5?)
