[comp.unix.xenix] Mountain QIC-40 tape drives

goer@sophist.uucp (Richard Goerwitz) (09/16/89)

Xenix/386 v. 2.3.2 supports QIC-40 "floppy tapes."  However,
it appears that I will need to disconnect my 1 floppy drive
if I want to access the tape drive.  Correct?  Under MS-DOS
I was accustomed to using the tape drive daisy chained off of
the b: floppy, which was a great advantage - no extra control-
ler needed.  Am I correct, however, in my assumption that this
sort of arrangement is impossible under Xenix?

Help, anyone?
