                           Tape Device Drivers

        Gazelle Systems' Back-It 4 and Back-It 4 LAN currently includes
        six different tape device drivers.  This text file describes
        each device driver and the hardware manufacturers' tape devices
        supported.  Hardware specific information required to configure
        the device by the program BKUTIL is also described.  We suggest
        that you consult the tape manufacturer's documentation and look
        at your hardware settings before running BKUTIL.
