I have a Sun 3/60 that has a 60 MB Tape in it.  I would like to install a 
150 MB instead.  The questions is, what is the best way to accomplish this.
The tape is connected to what I believe is an Emulex MT21 tape controller.
Does that controller support a 15o MB tape drive as well?  If not, since the
tape needs to be recognized as a bootable device, how can I go about doing
this?  Would it be possible to have two tape drives working?  Thanks,
