This is actually bogus. You removed a 2000's technology, but left the =
pre 1990's ones. And we don't even support those.

"&os; supports all standard SCSI tape interfaces." is the right answer. =
We haven't supported QIC-36/QIC-02 interface since 2004. This is for ISA =
and EISA cards that were great on a 386...
