sort of critter? It so, I'm wondering if I can just attach that tape
drive to a UNIX box that supports it (if that's possible) and create
some sort of bootable tape from the image files. Has anyone here
done this? If not, has anyone here created a bootable tape from a
working RT running AIX?

Are you talking about the 6157 tape drive? I've heard that is the only drive
that the RT will work with. I have both 6157 and RT, but no interface card
for it yet.
These drives for RT are QIC-02 interface find a straight 8 bit QIC-02
and straight drop in after setting right settings, appox 150MB on
that drive, made by Cipher but I know wasn't on that card itself.
