Emne: Qualstar 1260S tape drives
I recently obtained a Qualstar 1260S tape drive. It
looks like a
wonderful
device, and ought to work under Linux (SCSI
interface). I've got a couple
of
questions:
I found the manuals for the 1052: (1) "Product Specification for Model 1052"
and (2) "Technical manual for PE Streaming tape transports"
(1) is about 25-30 pages, and (2) > 100, including diagrams, signal
descriptions, etc.
I'm afraid that my scanner will give up on the fine print.
As the combined weight is about a pound-and-a-half, mailing it to the US
would cost an arm and a leg.
Would there be a european alternative?
