The 2.02 release of 386/ix mentioned that tapes made on a 60 meg
streamer could not be read using the supplied SCSI streamer driver -
has this been changed with the 2.2 release?

It has always worked; we have done that since the 2.0.2 days without trouble. You can't >write< 60MB format on a 150MB streamer, but that's a physical problem, not a software one. It works on 2.2 too. ISC's docs are plain wrong. -- Karl Denninger karl@kbox.naitc.com (708) 317-3285

I have no problem reading 60 MB tapes with my SCSI Streamer on 2.02. -Axel -- fischer@utower.gopas.sub.org / fischer@db0tui6.BITNET / fischer@tmpmbx.UUCP Class of '93 That is not dead, which can eternal lie Yet with strange aeons, even death may die.
