Currently I just using:

    /* Wangtek QIC-525 1/4" cartridge */ {
        "Wangtek QIC-525", 14, "WANGTEK 5555ES", ST_TYPE_WANGTEK_525, 512,
        (ST_QIC | ST_AUTODEN_OVERRIDE),
        400, 400,
        { 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00},
        {  0, 0, 0, 0 }
    }, 

But I beleve it was just a quick first quess, I'd also be interested in 
getting this set up corectly. This works a bit, but I'm having trouble 
reading 150Mb tapes. I find the Archive 2Gb dat a lot less trouble, and
a lot faster right now. I think the drive isn't streaming right now with
this conguration. Sure would be nice to have a better one.
