Yes. Look at "hardware.762" in the spring version of the NeXTanswers.
There's a little program that switches the device driver from 
variable block mode to fixed block mode which is necessary for the
Wangtek (and most others).

If you don't have access to the NeXTanswers let me know and I'll mail
you this program.

P.S.: I did post this because I mailed this hint to so many people in the
      past. I hope, all potential users of streamers will read this :-)
