[comp.os.minix] tape drives

bing@galbp.LBP.HARRIS.COM (Bing Bang) (01/01/88)

i just got me one of those tape drives that connect to your floppy controller.
i was wondering how hard it'd be to make it work for minix. does anyone out
there have anything like a 'technical ref.' manual for them? i got mine from
everex, their tech help line told me that they do not supply that kind of info
to 'end users'. (i should have told them what they can do with their end users
crap.) anyway, i think all these things work the same... i have the small
cassette type... 3M's DC2000 i think?

Has anyone written a driver for a cartridge tape drive for Minix?  It's
rather tedious doing backups onto floppy disk.
