Does anyone out there know if the standard driver on a Sun 3/160
for a Ciprico Tapemaster magtape controller uses the BUFFERED WRITE (14H)
and BUFFERED READ(10H) commands ? We are trying to eliminate a bus
contention problem by adding memory to our controller, but we think
that this will all be for nought if the data is transfered directly
over the Multibus.
