Greetings- I have a MaxStream 60 tape drive made by Archive for the mac-- does anyone happen to have a driver for it for use under A/UX? Alex ---- uunet!unisoft!alex -- Alex ----

The A/UX 2.0 "tc" driver supports it. It probably will treat the drive as a MaxStream 150 (160?), due to the way the drive reports capacity. This would only be a minor annoyance, and not a problem if you don't try to write all the way to end-of-tape. Disclaimer: I only tested with the larger drive, and Apple doesn't "advertise" support of the Archive drive with the tc driver. It was feasible to put it in, I did it, and it seems to work. No guarantee what tech support would tell you if there was a problem...though the folks at Archive do know we did the work, since we adapted their driver to fit into tc. -- -- Rick Auricchio, Apple Computer Inc, 20525 Mariani Av MS 58A Cupertino CA 95014 sun!apple!rick OR rick@apple.COM Mooney N894AR (408) 974-4227 Never eat prunes when you're famished.
