Original posting:
I believe the fact that the throughput to my tape drive is around
0.6 MB/min is due to the lack of a correct st.conf for the
tape drive. Btw, the advertised transfer rate to the drive is
44 MB/min (73x what I'm getting).
Many thanks to saile@transtec.de for this addition to the beginning of
/kernel/drv/st.conf, which makes my HP DAT drive scream:

Don't forget to "boot -r" to reconfigure...
