Hi, I want to know two(+1) things. 1. Is it possible to connect an 8mm cassette backup device (like Exabyte or the Cybernetics-8200) on an Amiga? By 'connect', I mean 'use'. Which kind of driver create? Are the mentionned beasts SCSI? 2.1 I am using the newest version of VLT (4.824). In the doc that come with it, we can see that there is a field name 'BEEPF' meaning BeebFuntion which set the command to be executed when the VLT bell should be sounded. Can someone tell me the syntax to use to set this field in the 'vlt.init' file? I tried BEEPF ~rx "address 'PingServer' BEEP" It didn't work. I tried putting the argument between quotes, no more success. Any idea? 2.2 Always with VLT, I wrote an ARexx script where the following variable is defined: sendstring1 = 'sunmef"' || login || ' ' || password sendstring1 = sendstring1 || '"::astro2:[' || login sendstring1 = sendstring1 || ']' || file2post ||cr /*sendstring1 = '"' || sendstring1 || '"'*/ I try to send this variabbe to the host VAX via the command Address VLT SEND sendstring2 But the VAX receives only the first words of the variable. Removing the comments doesn't help. Any more ideas. Edouard Boily Phys. Dept. Laval Univ. Quebec, CANADA
