	I have a NeXTstation Turbo. I'm running 2.2 (3.0 in a while).
I have a Hewlett Packard HP 35480A DAT drive. And I want to start
doing backups...

   1.	Does the NeXT include kernel support for this drive?

   2.	When I do a backup using the dump command, will the system use
	the DAT drive by default, or do I have to address it in some
	way? (The dump man page refers to "/dev/rmt8" as the "default
	tape unit to dump to". Is this the appropriate filename for
	a DAT drive?)

	Thanks for you help.

	Michael.
