I have a Mountain Filesafe tape drive (Mach2 controller, Model 8000 Plus
and it uses a proprietary tape format (TD-101) under MS-DOS.  I'm consider-
ing to switch to 386bsd, and it would be nice if my tape drive were
supported.  I know I can read/write QIC-80 format tapes, and if TD-101
isn't doable, I'd sure like to see QIC-80 in there soon.  Anyone have
a timeframe for that?  (I am aware that it is unsupported at this time.)
