I desperately need proper support for an Archive 4mm tape drive that does
HW compression.  As it stands now, my 1.1 on sparc only sees it as a generic
no HW compression device.  What do I need to modify for it to work?  Back in
my Ultrix (fie!) days, we had devices such as rmt08h (to signify hi density and
compression).  What's the NetBSD equivalent?  Where can I find a list of SCSI2
density codes?  Lastly, where on earth is the st(4) manpage.  I've got every
source known to mankind (well almost) and I can't find it.  Thanks.
