I have a WangDAT drive that, when I use it, crashes FreeBSD.  My Hardware
is:

       Adaptech 2940UW SCSI Controller
       WangDAT drive configured with no hardware compression, as SCSI-2,
       no hardware buffering, parity is enabled.

If I tar to it, it generally crashes, although when I was just testing it
it gave the following error instead (other tries caused it to crash tho):

    st0(ahc0:6:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:7a800 asc:c,0 Write error

''Just in case'' I changed the tape, but it made no difference.  When it
crashes the kernel does a frame/page dump to the screen and then waits 15
seconds.  I can't really get all of the info, but the message it prints is
something like:

       Timed out while idle, LASTPHASE=....

Help?  Is my DAT drive dead?  Anybody know where I can get it repaired at?

-Brandon
