It never ceases to amaze me that help to my plights come from around the
world. Special thanks to:

for responding. Seems this was posted before and Glenn was mentioned in
the previous summary. Guess I missed it.

I have hooked up the drive and am able to dump to it. Now
I just have to get it to recognize EOT and I'll be all set for regular
backup. Original question and the correct setup are listed below.

Add the following to /usr/kvm/sys/scsi/targets/st_conf.c:

/* DEC TLZ06 4mm cartridge */
{
        "DEC TLZ06-VA 4mm Helical Scan", 13, "DEC TLZ06",
        0x2b, 512,
        (ST_VARIABLE | ST_BSF | ST_BSR | ST_LONG_ERASE),
        5000, 5000,
        { 0x13, 0x13, 0x13, 0x00 },
        { 0, 0, 0, 0 }
},
/* DEC TLZ04 4mm cartridge */
{
        "DEC TLZ04-VA 4mm Helical Scan", 13, "DEC TLZ04",
        0x2b, 512,
        (ST_VARIABLE | ST_BSF | ST_BSR | ST_LONG_ERASE),
        5000, 5000,
        { 0x13, 0x13, 0x13, 0x00 },
        { 0, 0, 0, 0 }
}
