I also offered to assist Mr Monroy with his code. The offer is still open, 
jesus. How about some action here.  I really dont care about proper development
leave that until after we have a working prototype play with.

I'm sick of all this flamage bullshit.  Lets write some code. 
Jesus, If you really want to get this driver done, ditch the political crap
and show us your code.  If anyone's got some specs on QIC-40, please post
them (or are they hardcopy, where do you get such things).  I'm sick
of looking at this tape drive sitting on my wardrobe!
