I discovered the TK-50Z (both FA and GA) will work
with FreeBSD and
an old Adaptec SCSI controller. This allows me to read (and copy) the
TK50 onto my PCs hard disk, but I haven't quite got the format right
to write a new tape (still playing with file marks)...
If you really have problems with that, I remember seeing a program, which
finds out, which blocksize, filemarks, ... a tape is been written.
NOTE: I tried a 2940 and a 1535 and neither of them
worked. I was
successful with a AHA-1542B scsi adapter.
the adaptec 2940 works on linux & dos.
Laters,
clint
