I have a Wangtek 5150ES and it works perfectly.  If your drive is older,
there is no guarantee that it will work, but I think it's a safe bet.
The Apple drivers only work with the old Apple Tape drives, I believe,
so they won't recognize your drive.

There is a GSTape demo around on the net somewhere - get that and try it
out.  The final program is nicer, but the demo should give you some idea
of whether it will work with your drive.  (The demo worked for me too.)
