Greetings,

We just installed a WANGDAT 3200 for tape backups, but the software we  
ordered to work with it: "SavetyNet" (mentioned in the last article in  
NeXTWorld Mag.) won't arrive for a while yet.  I need to test this thing  
and make sure it's working (I did all the internal connections...scsi  
chaining inside a Sigma 2 bay drive etc., so there was a certain amount of  
guess work.).

I'd appreciate any help/advice on some commands I could use to test this  
tape device and see if the cube seems to acknowledge it and will dump  
files to it.  I know virtually nothing of this thing so any advice is  
welcome.

Many thanks

ps  it hasn't exploded yet, so that's a good sign that I connected the
	power supply properly ! (no >?)
