[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Looking for Archive tape drive software

jcb@frisbee.Eng.Sun.COM (Jim Becker) (10/31/90)

I'm  trying  to use the FASTAPE V4.00 software supplied by Archive for
their  60M tape system/controller (don't have the numbers handy - it's
the DC600A size 1/4" tapes).

This software is  mighty  old,  from  around  1986/1987,  and  doesn't
function  well  under MS-DOS V4.01. It seems to have problems with the
newer  releases  of  DOS in terms of the FAT tables and such. Is there
newer software that works better?

Does anyone out there have other software that  will  work  with  this
puppy?   I'd  like  to  write tar format tapes, but just being able to
write in a format where I can get the data back off would be nice!

Does anyone have the phone number of Archive? It's not in my manuals.

Any information or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
