I would like to do it without rebooting my This is a perfect opportunity to mention a new update disk for Interactive Unix, SSU7, which includes a new program, "mt", for manipulating tape devices. This program works with both the Wangtek QIC-02 devices and SCSI tapes, and will allow users to rewind, retension, erase tapes, as well as write and seek file marks. Also included in this update disk are fixes for the Adaptec SCSI tape driver and the Wangtek QIC-02 driver. Multiple volume backups now work with Adaptec SCSI tapes, and multiple tape drives (up to 4) can now be connected to each Adaptec SCSI interface. This update will run on Interactive Unix V2.2.1 (if you do not have V2.2.1 you will have to upgrade - V2.2 users can get a free upgrade to V2.2.1). Users can order this and the other updates listed below from their distributor or from Interactive's free warranty support line, (213) 453 8649.
