We have tried to install the MERGE/386 and Bell Tech's UNIX on a Compaq Deskpro
system, and have discovered "we don't work with that tape drive" (quoted from
a recent conversation with both the Bell Tech and Merge folks. According to
them, they have never encountered the _standard_compaq_internal_tape_drive
before. (Compaq must have sold thousands of them by now!) So now how does the
end user do backups? (Not with the 360K floppy if you have at least 15M to
copy!)

So far, no answer on how it will be fixed...am I really the only one?
