[comp.sys.hp] 1/2" tape on 700's

knechod%peruvian.utah.edu@cs.utah.edu (Kevin Nechodom) (04/23/91)

First off, I'm an HP3000 user with ~NO~ experience on an HP9000!  So, I'm
going to ask dumb questions.  Sorry.

I've got an HP7978B tape drive and a whole rack of tapes written in the
HP3000 store format. I'm looking at the possibility of moving to an HP9000
720 workstation, and I would like to know if:
1) there is a driver somewhere to use that tape drive, and
2) if there is a program under HPUX that can read an HP3000 tape.

Thanks in advance.
