It seems as though I only need to add an entry in the ftgtbl structure for QIC-3020 and/or TR-3 tapes. Has anyone done this already? If not, can anyone tell me the relevance of g_lendesc[16] (length text description) and how it relate to the the rest of the values with-in the structure? I mailed one of the manufacturers for the specs on their TR-3 (QIC-3020) tapes, they didn't provide the segments per track or blocks per track. So if anyone knows those? ;> Thanks! -Rory Lampert rory@uic.edu
