We had to use PS2TAPE...what a kludge. I do not know this for sure but I believe that our tech support guy called Sytos and was told that a version for the IBM tape drive was forthcoming. That was about 8 months ago. I no longer work for that organization and don't have any more information beyond the above. It might be worth a call to the manufacturer. Hope this helps.
