Where can one find the QIC-xx streaming tape standards documented? In
particular, QIC-02 describes the command set, and QIC-24 describes one
of the more common formats. These standards are referred to everywhere,
yet I've never seen them described. Thanks.

Freeman Associates in Santa Barbara was the keeper of the QIC standards, last I checked.

I would also like to find where to look to understand: A) what really mean QIC-02, QIC-11, QIC-24 and what are the [in]compatibility issues. B) how are the tapes physically organized: all about tracks, direction of writing/reading, record gaps, file marks and labels, if any. C) how are the tapes used (on our Suns at least): end of tape detection and processing, tape contents inventory, measurement procedure, density recognition, etc. Somebody would have good pointers?-- ------------------- --------- ------------------------------------------ Francois Pinard "Vivement C.P. 886, L'Epiphanie (Qc), Canada J0K 1J0 pinard@odyssee.uucp GNU!"
