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. Serge-- Serge Dmit | Latvian Canadian Joint Venture "JET" Software Manager | 25 Bruninieku Str.

Riga, 266001 Latvia } tlx: 161108 JET SU | E-mail - dmit@jet.lat.su 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. - Paul Zola Software Support Engineer paulz@sco.COM Gotta tend the earth if you want a rose. - Emily Saliers DISCLAIMER: I speak for myself, and not for SCO.

QIC-40 driver provided with SCO UNIX, and that is the IRWIN SX. This drive is similar to the CMS JUMBO, and supports 40-60 Mb tape cartridges. It interfaces directly w/the floppy drive controller cable, and I have installed it instead of the second floppy drive. SCO tech. support had recommended using the minicartridge dev. driver. When that did not work I tried the *QIC-40* selection, which seems to work fine for 40 Mb backups. The only problems left to resolve are: 1. If I use (longer) 60 Mb tapes, they only are recognized (formatted?) as 40 Mb. 2. I cannot install the SX drive to use the third or fourth floppy ports, which are available in my HP VECTRA 486 (this does work under DOS). Also, has anyone tried the larger IRWIN SX-80 drive?
