Hello --- Does anyone know where I can get the "dmd" software for the 630 +/or 5620 terminals in a suitable form (i.e....ready-to-run) for an AT&T 6386E running UNIX SysV/3.2 ? Is it part of another package ? Or available in ID (Installable Drivers) form from disk ? I can get the source from another system (3B2 flavor) and re-make it, but would prefer not to reinvent the wheel. Which lead to a second question: Can I read a cartridge tape written on a 3B2/600 with my 6386's streaming tape unit (official AT&T issue) known as /dev/rmt/c0s0 ? Any suggestions on smoothing the way here ? 'cpio' seems like a likely candidate. Thanks for any help. Replies via e-mail to: att!hoqub!mrb or I will watch the netnews for reply postings. M. Baker AT&T BL-Holmdel 201-949-7823

My source (catalog) didn't say whether it's for 3B2 or 6386 or both. > Can I read a cartridge tape written on a 3B2/600 with my 6386's > streaming tape unit (official AT&T issue) known as /dev/rmt/c0s0 ? > Any suggestions on smoothing the way here ?

Tapes must be formatted first, and then one can create file systems on them or use a special cpio and such. The 6386 uses the more common Qic-11 stuff I believe. Tapes are compatible with Sun's (using /dev/rst8 on the Sun).
