There are a number of public domain offerings such as "ansitape" that
provide ANSI/IBM compatible style tape handling. Len Ford at Pyramid
UK (len@pyrltd) maintains a very complete set of public domain
offerings ( about 500Mbytes) and would be one source of the public
domain offerings.

Alternatively, a company called Quantum in Dusseldorf, West Germany,
will sell you a commercial product that they developed to run on the
Targon 35 (re-badged Pyramid) range. To permit some of the *unusual*
things that IBM tape handling does at the EOT point, Pyramid made some
changes to there tape drivers.

Unfortunately I'm on a visit here right now, and so can't give you
better contact info for Quantum.
