Re: REALLY need help prior to 1.3.4 release - still needed??

["Mark Paulus" <commpg at yahoo dot com>]

Do we still need help on tape drive access for 1.3.4??  I just
caught mention of a tape drive in this message, (I probably don't
follow the mail lists as closely as I should, since this isn't my 
PAYING job....).  Anyway, if we still need help, I would be willing
to assist.  My machine at home is running XP, build 2600, and it 
has a SCSI mini-cart magtape drive, so I could test out a couple
of things.  I can go off either the latest CVS build, or a snapshot
if needed.
