I think I unofficially "beta" tested an early version of this drive.
It had the charming property of making a request-sense command pause
while a rewind was in progress (~20 sec).  My notes suggest that it
exhibited truly creative brain damage in its treatment of the medium
partition mode page, though I forget what it was.  I recall that I
hated this device so much that I swore I would never buy a Wangtek
(this is how my note spells it) tape drive again.

Caveat: Have fun anyway.  Your mileage may vary.
