It is _not_ known _not_ to work ;-) I.e., I have received neither any 
success nor any failure reports. I have not tested it because I don't have 
any machine with enough memory (and I have not hacked a kernel to use 
highmem with 512 MB of memory). I hope someone seeing this thread and 
using highmem with tape can comment on this subject.
