On a related note, are there any A/UX drivers anywhere for tape drives *other* than the Apple one? In particular, I have a drive (only) which uses the DC6150 tapes (don't know the drive model, sorry), and I'd really like to get an external cabinet, power supply, and so on so that I could connect the drive to my A/UX machine and use it, but I'm concerned about getting drivers for it. I'm aware of the Teac drivers that Tony Cooper wrote (but don't know where to get them even if I needed them); has he (or anyone else) done similar ones for the drive I have? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mat Davis (davism@vtopus.cs.vt.edu) Department of Computer Science, Virginia Tech -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
