Subject: 4.3bsd driver for SI 9900?

We recently got our 4.3bsd tape, and I notice that hp.c uses the
byte count register to figure out where errors occurred, which
doesn't work on SI controllers.  There's no lost interrupt timeout
either.  sc_doseeks is never set.  Probably lots of other SI
kludges missing too.

Unfortunately I'm stuck with a couple of SI 9900's.  Does anyone
have a patched hp.c for 4.3 bsd?  Failing that, how about a good
4.2 driver that I can copy from?  The latest 4.2 driver that I
have is BRL version 1.9 of two years ago.
