I have just recently installed a DAT tape on my PC and I would like
to use gtar to backup my hard disks.

I have several versions of gtar (V1.0, V1.1, V1.15beta [hell knows where
I got all them from...]) and I do understand all the environment variables 
I need to set for my Viper150. BTW, I am running the ASPI SCSI drivers
on my 1542CF Adaptec controller.

Using the Viper150 on the system and set TAPE=+++TAPE$4 for v1.0 gtar
works just fine together with TAPEID=0:4:0 (don't know if I need that) 
and TAPEMODE=0. The Viper150 also works fine with TAPE=/dev/ct 
for V1.1 and 1.15beta of gtar.

But I have not been able to make it work with the DAT tape drive.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Please send mail to mutke@netcom.com.

Thanks in advance.
Ernie
