    Is there any way around manually typing in the whole
    danged entry for an sdlt320 drive in ddr.dbase? The
    release notes for 5.1b (section 5.3.1) states: "insert
    the following density information and SCSIDEVICE entry"
    (into the ddr.dbase file). Its a lot of stuff to type in, and
    it seems quite an inefficient and error prone way to
    proceed. If there was even an online version of the
    release notes I could just cut and paste it.
    The drive seems to work "OK" without this entry - but
    it does print out warning messages. Since I am using
    this drive to back up everyone's home directories and
    the most important system files on our main file server,
    I do not want to take any chances!
    - Curt
