Hello again,
I have two questions regarding 9-track drives:
Is the position and type of the BOT mark standardized? I have a few tapes
without BOT marker which are refused by my CDC transport, so I guess I'll
have to add my own BOT marker.
Can one Pertec controller handle multiple tape transports? How are the
transports supposed to be connected? Or do I need multiple Pertec controllers
if I want to have more than one transport on one machine.
Thanks in advance,
Hans

I may be 100% wrong, however
BOT (IIRC) was on the outer edge of the tape reel (the side away from
the tape transport baseplate -- about 20 feet in. EOT was on the inner
edge against the drive baseplate about 20 or so feet from the end.
