Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I was wondering about tape compatibilities between DAT tapes for different versions of Unix. I am currently running a SCSI Wangtek DAT tape drive under Freebsd 2.0, and tapes I create can be read by all other DAT drives I've tried it on. However, when I try to make a tape to bring home, the only thing that seems to be able to create tapes that I can read is a 486 running BSDOS. Tapes created on our Sun DAT or the DEC Alpha DAT can be read. All I get is a Tape error.. Do these DAT's create some specialized propriety format that we just don't support, or am I not configuring something correctly on my system? Any help appreciated.
