[sco.opendesktop] Colorado Tape driver for SCO UNIX

dmit@jet.lat.su (Serge Dmit) (03/28/91)

I use SCO Open Desktop and I own Colorado Tape Backup System JUMBO KE-10 (60
MB) with tape adaptor. As mentioned in the documentation for Tape, it support
QIC-40 format.But when I install it in Open Desktop as QIC-40 Cartidge Tape,
I doesn't get any result.

Is anybody know from where I can downloaded JUMBO KE-10 driver for SCO Unix?

I'll be very obligated.

I'm posting this because I think it might be of general interest.

The Colorado Memory Systems JUMBO tape is not supported by any SCO driver.
The QIC-40/QIC-80 driver will not work with this unit.  This driver supports
the following drives for ISA class architectures:

     Vendor           Qic-40
     ======           ===============
     Alloy            APT-40/Q
     Mountain         TD44-40
     Tecmar           QT-40i
     Wangtek          FAD 3500,3040F


While tape driver support is a very fluid thing, I am reasonably sure that
any floopy tape not in this list will not work with the QIC-40 drivers
supplied with ODT.  

I believe that CMS has a driver for SCO UNIX systems: you'll have to contact
them to obtain a driver for your unit.

I hope this helps you with your problem.
