I have 525Meg QIC tapes that I've written out with FreeBSD on my
Viper 2525 drive. How can I read them under DOS? "gtak100" appears
to be the GNU tar for DOS which is most current. I am using this with
my Adaptec 1742 and ASPI manager, but it cannot read 525 meg tapes.
(It *can* read 150Meg tapes, tho. Havent' tried 250 meggers)
If anyone knows how I can read and write 525 Meg tar tapes on DOS for
use with FreeBSD, please speak up!
Thanks.
