Date: Fri, 31 May 1996 06:06:07 GMT Organization: Aimnet Information Services Lines: 11 Message-ID: <4om2a7$1j8@news.aimnet.com> Reply-To: keng@aimnet.com NNTP-Posting-Host: dial-cup3-15.iway.aimnet.com X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent v0.55 The man pages talk about using ft as a filter to access the floppy tape drive. That works OK, but seems like I saw somewhere a way to build a device like /dev/ft0, that would let the floppy tape be accessed like any other tape device. How is this done? --- Ken Gaugler URL:http://users.aimnet.com/~keng/ "The life of a Repo Man is ALWAYS INTENSE..."
