Hello,

I have a Integraged Solutions Optimum V (V24s) and I'm trying to get the
Suns at our local UC campus read/writeing my tapes.  I have the standard North-
ern Telecom tape drive that comes with the system, it is a 9 track, QicII
compatible 1/4" drive.  I'm not sure what our Suns are using, but I do know
they are also QicII compatible.

Does anyone out there know how to get both of these machines reading and 
writing the same tape format?

I'm hoping to use the tapes for mailing data to and from the Phillipines (I'm
going to the Phillipines, so I'd like to keep up to date on MINIX and comp.-
sources).

Any help would be appreciated.
