- I have a Colorado 250 tape drive which uses DC-2120 tapes.
- Does anybody know of a programming interface specification
- to this machine?
-
- I am asking as I am considering two alternate uses for this
- device. One is as a backing store for a virtual hard disk.
- This requires a different interface than that supplied with
- the drive. The other use would be to back up a pc running
- one of the unix variants (386BSD or linux). If drivers are
- too hard to obtain for those OS's I won't even consider installing
- with them.
-
- Any information would be appreciated. My mail address is
- messed up so please reply via follow-up postings.
