Hmmm... it gets wierder...

With terminators on 1) the 2nd ports of the HP88780B and on the 2nd
port of the KZSA I got nuthin'

However, when I pull the terminators from everything, I get:

>>> show scsi
SCSI Adaptor 0 (761300, SCSI ID 7)
-*KA0 (* *)
-*KA100 (* *)
-*KA200 (* *)
-*KA300 (* *)
-*KA400 (* *)
-*KA500 (* *)
-*KA600 (* *)
>>

still no luck seeing the tape drive after rebooting either before or
after sysgen...
