We need to make custom packages for each sales order. We need to support several media including: Sun Cartridges 9 track 1600bpi 1/2" tar tapes IBM PC MS-DOS 5 1/4" DS DD floppies IBM PC MS-DOS 5 1/4" High Density floppies IBM PC Xenix 5 1/4" High Density floppies Microware's OS-9 5 1/4" floppies (variety of formats) Microware's OS-9 3 1/2" floppies (variety of formats) Others in the future. The cartridges and 9 track tape is easily do able off the shelf (thought I would like to drive the 9 track tape from SCSI if possible, but because of ease of implementation, we will probably use a regular tape controller on the VMEbus). The difficulty is connecting the floppies to the SUN. Sun Consulting offers a device driver and utility package that lets one read, write format a PC DOS floppy. Unfortunatly it does not work with any version of PC-DOS greater than 2.xx and you need an ATT source license for Unix to get the source for the package. So I am looking for something in the public domain for working with floppy disks connected to a Sun via the SCSI bus. I would like to have control over the various floppy physical formats as well as the file system on the floppy. Bob Berger Datacube Inc. Systems / Software Group 4 Dearborn Rd.
