I guess I wasn't very clear as to what I'm looking for - I'm looking to
buy a cheap (< $300) PC-style 1/4" tape drive on the AT bus of my 386i.
I'm looking for a SunOS device driver to access it (not code to read a
tape that was written on a PC on a Sun SCSI tape drive).

If noone has already done this, I guess I'll try writing my own. However,
I've never ever written a Unix device driver, so any example device
drivers (for other tape drives, or disks, etc.) would provide a starting
point and would be much appreciated.

Has anyone typed in the Skeleton device driver example in the SunOS Device
Driver manual?
