I have come to the conclusion based on the experience of Thomas and advice from
Peter and having tried every conceivable permutation of devfsadm,
cfgadm,tapes etc.,
that the X6541A and the DLT8000 will not work together. The X6541A is LVD
and the DLT8000 is single ended. The moral is don't rely on Sun to sell you
the right stuff.
