Does anyone know of the autochanger extensions for HP
35401 eight tape
jukebox ? It's based on an HP 9144 cartridge drive and is compatible
with it in normal operation, but I can't find the autochanger extensions
*anywhere*!
Hmm, I wonder if that's what the CS/80 "Set Volume" command is for.
The command is 0x40, with the volume number (0-7) or'd into the
three least significant bits.
If nothing helps I'll just chuck it back to my
screaming dual-processor,
WIN/TCP enabled HP 9000/550:)
You know with a hook like that I can't resist, right? I'm (or was,
anyway, TWG is pretty much gone now) the last maintainer of WIN/TCP
for the HP9000 series 500.
How does the changer work from HP-UX on the 550? Can it be told to
pick a specific cartridge, or does it just step through cartridges as
each is unloaded? We didn't have a changer; well, we did, but it was
either me or the guy who did the backups.
