[comp.unix.sysv386] CMS and Jumbo Tape Drive under SCO Unix 3.2.x

root@mjbtn.JOBSOFT.COM (Mark J. Bailey) (09/06/90)

Hello,

You may remember that I posted several days ago describing my rather 
unpleasant experience with CMS and their Unix JTAPE drivers that I had
been waiting for since the first of the year.  Well, someone at CMS
caught wind of my frustrations expressed here on the net and went to
quite a bit of trouble to contact me personally and together we worked
out a satisfactory solution.  While I still feel that they have taken
*WAY* to long to get something out (an downscaled interim version would
have helped some), I must say that my faith in CMS has been restored with 
respect to their willingness to consider and individual client's 
dilema and work with them.  From what I have seen so far, the new driver 
will have been well worth the wait!  :-)  

Mark.

Would you be willing to clue the rest of us in on the solution?
I'm kind of surprised to hear there is a satisfactory solution.
Since the way it's used on Interactive Unix is by attaching it as a
floppy disk drive, I wonder if they supply their own driver, or what?
If so, how does it affect real floppy drives?
