I've had a little more luck. I faxed their buyer registration department
(no way I'm phoning them from here!) and they faxed back some advice and
a minimal list of QIC standards to implement. I am now trying to get my
hands on the relevant standards - Australian Standards were no help at
all. Their librarian claims that the are no Australian standards (and thus
by implication no ISO standards) for the storage of data on magnetic
tape!
Does anyone have QIC standards available for FTP?
