IBM 6157-002 tape drive and TAR

[Steve E. Goldsmith]

Hi net,
  Anyone know how to make tar use the 6157-002 streaming tape drive
to write 150meg tapes? I have DC600XTD tapes in there, 150 meg
cat tapes, but tar seems to be writing the same amount of
data as the 300' tapes.  Any ideas? What device should I use?
I have tried /dev/rmt0,4,8 and 12 all with the same results.
Suggestions appreciated...

Thanks,
/Steve
