Hi there.

I just tried to attach an Archive Viper QIC tape drive to my
A3000 running NetBSD. Alas, on 'mt status' it says 'no ready' without
a tape (maybe the right answer!?), with a tape it says 
'illegal request
 cannot set selected mode
 unknown tape drive type (7)'

Trying to read or write also elects an 'illegal request'.

Someone knows what's going on here?

Oh, ah: NetBSD 1.0

Help appreciated.

Regards, Kai
