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.

For OS2 1.1, you need the Exabyte technical reference (whatever that is), plus the "ASW-1420/AT" software from Adaptec, plus the "Adaptec Advanced SCSI Program Interface Specification for OS2". The software costs $50, I think; I don't know what the manuals cost. Note that Adaptec has the drivers for OS2 1.3, but hasn't released them, yet....
