Does anyone out there have _either_ a Minix (or other *ix) device
driver for an Archive SC499 tape controller, or technical specs
of the controller.

I have an Archive FasTape drive & SC499 controllers on my Unix
and DOS boxes, and plan to slap a third controller into my Minix
machine.  However, I need a driver.  I am prepared to write one
if I must, but am lazy.  I would appreciate any info about Minix
tape drivers, (yes, I know -- RTFM), Unix tape drivers and the
Archive controller in particular.  If I end up writing a driver,
it will be released to the net (to comp.os.minix).

Many thanks
