[comp.os.coherent] Tape drives for coherent

nlane@well.sf.ca.us (Nathan D. Lane) (05/27/91)

Does anyone know the status of floppy drive controlled tape drives
for Coherent.  I'm looking for drivers that will work with anyone's
40, 60 or 120 MB DC2000 floppy-controller based tape drives to
do backups.  I've got 80 MB for Coherent and 47 floppies + four
hours does NOT encourage me to to backups!!!
I'd also like to use these tapes as archival storage for lots of
information (50 + MB of gifs, text info from the net) mounted as
a read only file-system.  Any pointers?
If one is not available, any pointers for a manufacturer of one who
would be willing to divulge their secrets on how to drive one so I
can write a driver?

Thanks in advance.
