I'm trying to find a viable method of backing up my PC files to a SCSI
tape device.

Controller: Future Domain TMC-840
Tape Drive: Exebyte 8200 or Sony SDT 1000
Environment: MS-DOS 
System:     386-33 Clone

Future Domain wanted to sell us SYTOS, however they claim it doesn't work
for the Sony 4-mm tape.  What I'd really like to know is if there is a
way to install a driver that can:
       A: Talk directly to the tape device in such a manner that I can
          use PKZIP to write/read from it

       B: Will talk to both types of tape drives

Thank you in advance,
      Dwayne
