    Do you have the additioanl nodes that were a part of the previous
tape software like rmt8 & rmt16 ?

    Usually a tape operation goes like this:

   echo o | tape /dev/mt/rmt16    (resets the tape controller)
   find . -depth -print | cpio -ocv | strm /dev/mt/rmt0  (sends files to tape)

   I never tried your "cat file > /dev/mt" before. I have been using an
Everex Excell Stream 60 with 2.3U for almost a year and it has performed
flawlessly.
