	QIC-80 (at least through the floppy controller) is a
write-off as far as I can see.  My Colorado 350 is useless
under FreeBSD but very reliable under DOS.  Unfortunately
no one who has the Colorado 350 specs appears to have time
to get the FreeBSD driver up to snuff.

	I cheated; I borrowed an external Emulex 8mm SCSI
tape drive and hooked it onto the end of my Adaptec 1542CF
SCSI chain, and it's worked absolutely flawlessly.
