svn commit: r41618 - head/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq

[Warner Losh]

This is actually bogus. You removed a 2000's technology, but left the pre 1990's ones. And we don't even support those.

"&os; supports all standard SCSI tape interfaces." is the right answer. We haven't supported QIC-36/QIC-02 interface since 2004. This is for ISA and EISA cards that were great on a 386...
