Works great if you happen to have a Pertec interface tape drive and a PCTD16 card. But that's no help for you. Sticking with a DOS PC there is ST.EXE by John Wilson. I have used that once or twice long ago and don't remember anything about using it now. http://www.dbit.com/pub/ibmpc/util/ http://www.dbit.com/pub/ibmpc/util/README http://www.dbit.com/pub/ibmpc/util/st.txt st SCSI tape utility. Can be used to capture tape images for Ersatz-11, among other things. Use "st -f scsi6: iget foo.tap" to read the entire tape at SCSI ID 6 into the file "foo.tap", suitable for use with E11's MOUNT command. It can also go the other way, use "iput" instead of "iget" to write foo.tap onto the tape. Fixed block sizes with recordless files are also supported, like what you get with the UNIX "dd" program. More often I used an Exabyte EXB-8200 8mm SCSI tape drive attached to CMD CQD SCSI controllers on Q-Bus systems. To write TAP / TPC tape images to the EXB-8200 I used a Linux system with some code that I hacked up to do that. Much easier than trying to figure out how to do that on a Windows system. It's been a while since I last used that, might take a while to find that code.
