I am looking for a cartridge tape backup system for my ISC 386 box
which will read and write 60Mbyte cartridge tapes that are compatible
with sun 60M tapes. I would prefer a SCSI soln, but have had no luck in
finding one so I'll settle for whatever works.
Has anyone got details of what it would take to do this? I tried
calling ISC, archive and adaptec to find out if a SCSI soln. was possible
but got nowhere! Any details of where to purchase and how much is too much
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Just about every 60MB cartridge tape available for any 386 unix system is compatable with the sun drive if you use the /dev/rst8 device on the sun system. I have transferred zillions of files to and from sun machines from several different 386 boxes. What you need is QIC-24 format. This is the standard 60MB format. -- Conor P.
