The driver supports the Adaptec AHA1540[A|B} host adapter, Quantum P80S disk and Archive 2150S tape (as target 4). Unfortunately, I did not envision this driver as a product and some of the code is incomplete (error recovery). I really only wanted something I could use. If you are adept at writing device drivers and feel comfortable with *absolutely no warranty*, I could make the various bits of it available. If there's enough interest, I might even clean up the shaky areas and document it. I also had to write a tape utility program to take advantage of the Archive features like 'seek to EOM', etc. for multiple file processing. David Sears (dns@essnjay.com) EssnJay Systems, Inc.
