Can anybody point me in the direction of a compatible driver for the Overland TX-8 Tape Coupler for the AT bus? I know 1/2" tape is not exactly SOTA, but we found earlier this year that it was the only format we could use with one customer. There appears to be enough information in the documentation I have to write one, but doing that and getting my head back into BSD-style systems at the same time might just cause a few missed interrupts in the parietal lobes. I suspect this request may not be of very widespread interest, so do email rather than post..... -- Steve Blinkhorn <steve@prd.co.uk>
