I wrote a cartridge tape driver which is installable from device 0 - 6. This driver works via trap #13 calls. I am using it with what I believe is an interface board from an SH204 ? disk subsystem. It works with a Cypher 504 drive with a SCSI interface. To go with this is a tar program that reads and writes UNIX compatible tar tapes for creation and extraction. The driver is written in Alcyon assembly (sozobon compatible) and gets it's device number from the file name. The name can be tapedvr0.prg tapedvr6.prg. The 'tar' program is in MWC 'C' and works from either a shell or from desktop if named tar.ttp. There is a tapeio.h 'C' binding file for tape IO. The source and binaries for both are available to anyone who can hack a tape system together and requests me to E-mail the code to them. --- .==========================================================. | ### ####### ### | N O R T H | /==============\ | | ### ### ### | A M E R I C A |< An STC Company >| | ### ####### ####### | (was CCI) | \==============/ | |----------------------------------------------------------| | UUCP: ..uunet!ccicpg!dl2!paulm | Paul L.

++ The source and binaries for both are available to anyone who can hack a tape ++ system together and requests me to E-mail the code to them. Tried to email, but it failed somewhere inside HP. Could someone please email the poster for me that I'm *very* keen to take advantage of his offer. Thanks.
