"mt status" doesn't appear to work with my Archive 4330XT external
DAT drive. It registers as follows when I boot:
Sep 12 19:49:04 mudos /netbsd: aha0 targ 5 lun 0: type 1(seq) removable <ARCHIVE Python 25501-XXX2.66> SCSI2
Sep 12 19:49:04 mudos /netbsd: st0 at aha0 targ 5 lun 0: 0 blocks of 512 bytes
When I try to do "mt -f /dev/nrst0 status", I get "unknown tape
drive type (7)". Other "mt" commands (fsf, bsf, etc.) seem to
work okay, and I can read/write data to the drive.
