Thanks, Larry, for the info about your tape driver (I *thought* you were
the one :-), and I think you're right -- that info may be useless for
the Kronos package.

I have located, however, some header files that deal with using
SCSI-Link.library, which is a run-time library interface to the controller
card.  Now the $64,000 question:

Does anyone have the "SCSI-Link.lib" linker library, i.e. stub routines,
for using this library?  The SCSIDos3.0 docs say to "contact CLtd"...
Well, I think we know what the result of that will be! :-)  Did anyone
else get those files before CLtd closed up?  (Or, does anyone know what
their *new* name will be [smirk] ;-)

Larry:  the CLtd docs imply that QuarterBack can be used with a regular
SCSI tape drive; just configure the tape drive as a harddisk.  Since
QB talks directly to the .device it will access the tape in a sequential
manner (is there any other way?)...  Any opinions? comments?

Thanks all!
