Trying to get Slackware up and running, installation went fine and boots
fine. I've got an old Wangtek 1/2 inch SCSI Tape that I want to use but I
don't know how to get the OS to recognize it. I assume I should use the
device /dev/st0 on my system but what do I do with it then and how do I
access it?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

cd / ; tar -cvvpf /dev/st0 *
this command should work as long as your SCSI card is setup.
