Ja - nennt sich Datei und gibt es in nahezu beliebiger Menge auf jedem Filesystem. Kann zwar nicht Spulen, aber das brauchst du in dem Fall ja auch nicht, da es sowas wie Dateinamen gibt. tar, cpio und Co kommen damit wunderbar zurecht. Einen Streamer komplett simulieren ist so eine Sache, da Streamer nicht gleich Streamer - es gibt da mehrere Befehlssätze und Eigenarten. Aber braucht man eigendlich auch gar nicht. > Or in other words: Can you only load a driver for an non existent streamer > and use it to write on disk? > Or do I need a special software solution?

Ja - Dateien funktionieren sogar auf dem C64. -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de ticso@cicely.de Usergroup info@cosmo-project.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
