Well, I ordered a 3M SCSI tape drive from HSC ($129) and am expecting it to arrive any day now. The only problem now is, does anyone know of any freeware/shareware SCSI tape backup software available for the Apple II/IIGS? The only SCSI tape backup software I'm currently aware of is Tim Grams HDTape, but I'm kinda short the $50 price tag right now, and he doesn't take American Express :^). I believe the tape drive only comes with a 30 day warrantee and I'd like to make sure it all works properly right away in case I have any problems with it. How difficult would it be to write a utility to test the tape drive? What references would I need? I have Orca/C and most of Apple's published manuals.
