I believe that I have a drive that can read that beasty.
That 486 that I was talking about has an old "Wangtek" QIC tape drive that
I've just got working, tested it and all is hunky dory.
If you want to bring in the tape to the IEEE lab I'll dump the data on to a
CD for you.

Matt,
If you don't get anyone to read it before Uni comes back, I'll give it
a go. Should be able to ferret around for the gear needed to read it.

It may be a little smaller, but it's roughly the same size, shap
Hmmm Sounds like an old Iomega 'Easy800' drive - I have one in
the junk box at home, plus a few tapes... I'll check the type of

If it's QIC then surely its not the same size as DDS!
I have a QIC150 tape drive at home. Last time I used
it under Linux it worked fine, but that was with Linux
version 0

QIC-80, not DDS, as others have already pointed out. I think I have
one of these drives at home. The Linux driver (ftape) didn't support
it last time I looked, but that was a 1.1.x kernel :-) If

You always forget the basics when under pressure. I should have checked
google...

Might be some sort of pre-DDS compatible beastie, though...

Imation DS2120 on google brings up a page which says QIC-80.
Which I assume is different from DDS.
Below is what I wrote before I looked at google
IIRC you can put it in. DDS uses pins and crap in the tape drive to determine
what sort of tape it is. If you compare the tape very closely to
12 matches
