I've been hoping to use Linux, hooked to a Sony SDT-5000 tape drive to 
read and write UNIX tar tapes without success.

We're finding that that we cannot either read nor write a tape from/to 
Linux.

Is this a known problem?  Any known fixes?

I'd rather not fork out for an SGI but may be forced to consider it.

In using Slackware 3.0.

Any suggestions will be studied

Thank You

Thank You
