I am looking for OS/2 drivers that will let me access an 8MM Exabyte tape drive from my program. I want to read and write files to and from the 8MM tape drive. I have an IBM SCSI and also an Adaptec 1640 SCSI adapter to drive the tape drive. I have looked around but it looks like the only things that are available are backup programs like SYTOS. They do not have any doucmented API's that will allow you to control your tape drive from the program directly.

Sorry I can't be more specific but looking through the docs for LADDR may provide the info that you need.
