[comp.sources.wanted] Does anyone know of device drivers for cartridge tape units?

c60b-ta@buddy.Berkeley.EDU.UUCP (12/05/87)

[My apologies for the repost if this appears twice.  I did not see it myself.]

I am looking for a device driver for a Mountain TD4440 (I think that's the
number!) 1/4" cartridge tape drive.  It is "generic" in the sense that it is
driven by the AT's floppy disk controller.  I would prefer a driver for
Microport System V, but I'll take anything I can get and hack it up. ("It
can't possibly be _that_ hard!", he kids himself :-)

Order of preference:
	1. Public domain with source
	2. Public domain without source
	3. Commecial is OK if 1 or 2 is not available

Hardware:  AT clone running Microport System V/AT release 2.2.0
(where oh where is the long-promised upgrade???)

Thanks in advance ...

I would be interested in a driver for an Irwin drive that runs off the  floppy
controller.  My hardware is a:
		1)  Compaq Deskpro (8086)
		2)  Compaq's tape drive (Irwin I believe) 10Mb capacity
		3)  Xenix Sys V  (SCO Rel 2.1.3)
