MO support

I never saw anything but 512 byte / sector work with any windows or dos version. the drivers dont have any way to change the blocksize. I didnt see the problem you saw when using 1024 byte media, it just would spit it back out and do nothing. Solaris should have no problem with this, and of course booting wont be a problem there. There is a jukebox program, I'll have to air out the brain cells and try to remember what that was called. If this rings any bells with others on this list, chime in. The package I'm thinking about is a public domain thing, i believe it works for MO libaries, but is also written to issue select commands to tape libraries. YMMV. it is a good basis to start with. It is not going to support different volumes which auto select like the Pioneer cd 6 or 18 pack drives do, or the NEC scsi cdrom drives do, which would be cute, but is only framework to open a scsi target id, and issue a select command to pull and swap in a different media to a drive. I recall that someone had used it with MO jukeboxes but I only saw it used with DLT libraries. (Breece Hill). Jim
