My comment would be to move the actual tape handling part out of DDR entirely and let the data storage be handled by something else, eg a pipe connecting to the input or output of the DDR engine. Then it wouldn't matter how we were storing the data, and all the positioning stuff could be out in user space, so DDR wouldn't need to know or care. Then we wouldn't need CMSDDR any more. -- db
