- hello.
-
- a few months ago i sent mail to the group concerning the problem
- we have using our newly acquired EXABYTE drive with our NeXT. our
- main purpose for purchasing this drive was to create and append to
- TAR archives. there seems to a problem with the NeXT AND the
- EXABYTE in that we cannot append to a TAR archive.
-
- my question concerns DAT drives. are there people out there who can
- absolutely CONFIRM that they can use such a drive, which is attached
- to their NeXT, and that it will create a TAR archive and then append
- to that same archive?
-
- i would appreciate any confirmations, and particularly a description
- of the DAT (company, etc).
-
- if anyone out there as had luck with doing TAR appends to an
- EXABYTE, could you please send me mail as well?
-
- thanks much!
