I have a 65 Mbyte Kennedy streaming tape drive and a Adaptec ACB-3530A 
SCSI to QIC-36 controller and a C.Ltd SCSI host adapter that I would like
to get hooked up and operational to my system.  I would like to write my
own backup and restore commands and eventually write a driver to support
the file system on the device.  Does any one know how to send commands to 
the SCSI.device supplied by C.Ltd to do such a thing?  I have tried C.Ltds
backup and restore command that they supply for their Teac tape system, but
I doesn't work.  I does make the drive think it's backing up the hard disk
but it always fails.  Any help would be appreciated.

Chris.
