Date: Mon, 10 May 1993 12:19:10 -0400 Organization: Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 12 Message-ID: <kfvc1yv0Bwx28Xrj9f@transarc.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: po5.andrew.cmu.edu Has anyone got any real code to drive QIC-40/80 tape drives on 386bsd? I am working on this a little bit myself, and was wondering who else had started on this. At first glance, the problem really does look like it requires gutting the fd driver and starting over.... Oh, about getting info about programming these drives - CMS (the people who make my tape drive) were real helpful in getting me in touch with the QIC Committee, who will send all kinds of info (including all the programming info for QIC-40/80 tape drives) for free to anyone who asks. They can be reached at 805-963-3853. --Pat.
