- NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Some (all?) SCSI controllers and VMS
- v5.4-2 don't get along very well. In particular, BACKUP/REWIND may or may not
- properly initialize your tape. Please check to see whether or not this is a
- problem on YOUR system before you trust BACKUP/REWIND to properly initialize
- your tape. The sanity you save may be your own.
