I have a high density SCSI WANGTEK QIC tape drive which I now have
connected to my NeXT.  The generic SCSI driver on NS2.2 (if fudged
into fixed 512 byte mode) reads & writes to it fine except that 
it seems to be writing the 350MB QIC cartridges I have in some
kind of low density mode (probably 40MB).  Does anyone know
how to get these things to write in their high density mode?
A jumper setting to set the default or a SCSI mode command?
Unfortunately I do not have docs on these units.

Thanks for any help.
