QIC120; unfortunately the Tandberg engineers returned the
same inquiry string for the 3620 (QIC24), 3640, and 3660 (QIC150) drives,
which is a pain if you need to know which drive it is...

| dev4,lu0: tape1 (sequential), removable 'unknownunknown????' SCSI0

Looks like it wants an inquiry string to match, or the like.
