Does anyone in PC land have the specs for the QIC-24 and QIC-02 tape format and tape interface? I have a ComputerLand (UGH!) tape drive, and of course they won't provide any sort of technical information whatsoever. Everything that I read references these QIC (Quarter Inch Comp.) standards, but nowhere have I found a place to find what the standards are. I checked IEEE and ANSI literature, but no luck. Any inclinations would be greatly appreciated. Email or post, I read this daily. Thanks heaps!! Alan Johnson (rajohn@hubcap.clemson.edu)

Does anyone have or know of device drivers that can make tape drives accessible at a file level in DOS? Specifically, I have a QIC-02 tape drive, which uses a QIC-40 file interface. The software provided is the general backup program, but I want something that will allow a bit more flexibility. The vendor (Computerland) isn't talking, but I know that I have heard of such a beast. I received (via the net) specs on the 02 interface, but that really isn't enough to do what I want, plus I really don't really want to create such a beast if someone else has. Any and all help is appreciated. (Specific and/or general) Thanks, R. Alan Johnson (rajohn@hubcap.clemson.edu)
