	Well, I got the drive in last night, and played with it
both under FreeBSD-current and FreeBSD 2.1.0R.  Under 2.1.0R it
probes as such:

(ncr0:1:0): "ARCHIVE ANCDA 2750 28077 -003" type 1 removable SCSI 1


	Once I got the active termination problems out of the way
it's been working excellently (except for maybe requiring me to
mt -f /dev/nrst0 fsf 2 for each file instead of mt -f /dev/nrst0 fsf 1.

	I did realize after putting this tape drive in my system
that it is a SCSI-I drive.  Will this cause my entire SCSI bus
that tape drive is connected to to function as a SCSI 1 bus, or
does my SCSI-IIF drive on that bus still have the advantages of
SCSI-IIF???  Thanks for any information!
