I should bug Eric about this, but the .tap files that library creates doesn't have the
Supnik SIMH extensions
I use it for all of the SCSI recoveries that I do on Linux machines.
It also works with 1/4" cartridges but you want to keep the block size at 512 so that
if there is a bad
physical block it will only return that one block as bad instead of however many blocks
the read attempts
to return.

I'm kind of maintaining that.

Are you feeding the changes back to Eric or have you come up with your
own no one knows about it except you version?
the issues will be in the tap library from John Wilson
