I'm about to acquire an Archive Viper 2150S, (a SCSI-1 tapedrive).  Is
this device compatible with FreeBSD's scsitape driver?  (i.e. will I be
able to use dump, tar, cpio, etc. to do backup/restores with it, or
archive files, whatnot?)

If it isn't compatible please let me know ASAP so that I can abort the
forsale transaction.
