Are these sufficient to write a driver that works with all QIC-117 drives? If so, I withdrawl the aspersion, and would be *very* happy to know where you got the documentation. I would probably even be willing to work on a driver for the IOmega tape drive, if you have a source for the technical documents not under non-disclosure; seeing as it's also QIC-117 and they are standard, it should be easy to write with QIC-117 documentation available.
