>Description:

	1. I think that `hardware' should be `SCSI logical':
[snip]
     setspos    Set SCSI logical block position. Some drives do not support
                this. The count argument is interpreted as a hardware block to
                                                             ^^^^^^^^
                position to.
[snip]
	

	2. I think that right parenthesis `)' should be added at end
	   of sentence:
[snip]
     status     Print status information about the tape unit. For SCSI magnet-
                ic tape devices, the current operating modes of density,
                blocksize, and whether compression is enabled is reported. The
                current state of the driver (what it thinks that it is doing
                with the device) is reported. If the driver knows the relative
                position from BOT (in terms of filemarks and records), it
                prints that. Note that this information is not definitive (on-
                                                                          ^
                ly BOT, End of Recorded Media, and hardware or SCSI logical
                block position (if the drive supports such) are considered
                definitive tape positions.
