> I have an old Wangtec 6130 FS (the FS is important, there are other 6130 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.
