[comp.sys.dec] SCSI QIC-{24|60|150} tape on MV3100 ?

alan@ahmcs.com (Alan Mintz) (03/07/91)

Has anyone seen a driver and/or utility software for VMS (5.3) that allows
use of a QIC SCSI tape on an MV3100 ? I'd like to be able to read 
a tape generated from a UNIX system with dd, tar, cpio, etc...

Pointers to an ftp site, mail server, "you can't do that", whatever will
be most appreciated.

Buy a QIC-SCSI drive, say from DEC.
Buy DECshell from DEC; check recent DECUS library tapes for the various TARs.
read/write directly.   I have been working to port PAX to VMS periodically but
not very successfully so you are likely better off with tar or dd/blocked card
