[comp.sys.mac.programmer] SCSI tape devices. Who gets the driver?

ph@cci632.UUCP (Pete Hoch) (10/03/88)

At work we have a tape drive connected to a Mac II.  We wrote a
driver for it and we link this driver into an application that
reads and writes to the tape drive.

Now some people want to use this tape device as a backup device
too.  However I don't have the time or desire to write a backup
program just for in house use.  Insted I would like to use a
thierd party program with my tape unit and driver.  The question
is how do we make the driver available to a backup program?
Is there even a backup program that uses many tape drivers?  Do
I write an init to load the driver into the system?

All the information I have been able to find involves disk drives.
Any and all help will be most welcome.

Thanks,
