NetBSD  1.3H NetBSD 1.3H (GENERIC) #13: Sun Oct 11 21:33:29 CEST 1998     ragge@vs4000:/usr/src/sys/arch/vax/compile/GENERIC vax
>Description:
mt(1) does not decode status information for TMSCP tapes, e.g.:

uba1 at bi0 node 10: KLESI-B
mtc0 at uba1 csr 174500 vec 774 ipl 15
mscpbus1 at mtc0: version 1 model 5
mscpbus1: DMA burst size set to 4
mt0 at mscpbus1 drive 0: TU81

>How-To-Repeat:
On a VAX with TMSCP tape controller, try:

# mt -f /dev/nmt0 status
8: unknown tape drive type

>Fix:
Add code to arch/vax/mscp/mscp_tape.c to put useful information in structure used by MTIOCGET ioctl,
and extend mt(1) to decode this information.

 This PR should probably go into port-vax category...
