Tape drive support again

[Dege, Robert C.]

I use the Adaptec 39160 on one of my file servers.  The aic7xxx.ko does
support it.  I am using the 2.4 kernel on my server, although I don't
think that'll make a difference for the 2.6 series.


Excerpt from dmesg:

scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.36
        <Adaptec 3960D Ultra160 SCSI adapter>
        aic7899: Ultra160 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs
