It works with the wt driver, I believe--I had only little time to dump a filesystem and check that I can read stuff back. Yes I can also read tapes which were written on SUNOS a while ago with some other type of QIC150 drive. I do have *some* documentation. The booklet says "User's Guide 5125PK / 5150PK Series Tape Backup System", and "User's Guide No. 63058-001 Rev. B". The Guide explains the jumper settings, but does not go into further detail.
