My SCSI driver which I got from ref.tfs.com was an 11-part SCSI driver
shar file.  I applied it, and I no longer get SCSI sense errors, but
the no-rewind stuff doesn't work, nor does ANY of the tape devices
(save /dev/[r]as1a).  Any help?

Also, I couldn't find format(8) or fdformat(1) in here, how do I format
a floppy (this question makes me feel stupid).

Also, why does slip die when I start it from a perl script?  When my
xterm suddenly stops, I do a netstat -r from the console window and
it HANGS when typing the localhost-127.0.0.1-UH-2-5-lo0 line of protocol
Family 2...  is this normal?  Sorry if I'm wasting bandwidth.
