Onstream DI-30 under kernel 2.6

[Chris Fuhrman]

Nope, it's getting an Input/Output error.  Hrrrm.

Looks like ide-tape was trying to assign it ht0 but using mt -f /dev/ht0
status gives me another Input/output error *grrrrr*

If I remember right, Onstream support was removed from ide-tape a little
while ago although I think it's still in the Fedora kernel...
