[net.unix-wizards] tu58 driver

swatt (08/08/82)

A driver exists; it was written by Bill Shannon when  he  was  at
decvax.   You will get it with 4.2bsd.  You can get it now if you
get the latest 4.1bsd tape from Berkeley.  You can get it from me 
otherwise (we're on a VAX780; don't use it, and I  don't  promise
to have the latest, most bug-free version).  

It works "sort of";  the TU58 is just too fast and  runs  without
any   flow  control.   You  can  only  use  it  when  running  in
single-user mode.

Our department has a new 11/44 with a TU58 cartridge tape drive.
They are running RSX or something on it from DEC which knows
about it. Does anyone have a driver for this so that Unix can talk
to it? If not, I may break down and write one . It appears fairly
simple, I hope.
