Well, I've got the Apple HS SCSI card, and I borrowed a friend's
Apple 40SC tape drive (ancient thing, that.)  Anyway, Archiver
would recognize the drive, but I could never persuade that Snail
that it was there.  But since it looks so "bare bones", I'm not
too worried.  I think GSTape is gonna be my solution.

Like I said...  :-)
