Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Somebody wants to send data to me on an IBM 3480 tape. I'm not familiar with that model. A bit of web surfing gets matches also mentioning TKZ60 tapes. In a dusty corner of my brain, I recal the DLT was a modern TK-50. I have access to DLT tape drives. I don't have my hands on a 3480 tape. Any chance a DLT drive will read a 3480? We won't worry about what application-level format the tape is in, if I can get the data on HD then we'll *write* something to put that data in usable format. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nebula.tbe.com ======================================================================== Q: How many bureaucrats does it take to screw in a light bulb? A: Two. One to assure everyone that everything possible is being done while the other screws the bulb into the water faucet.
