Thanks. I overlooked that "small" detail.
Unfortunately it seems that most IDE driver implementors understand how a tape
drive works. In the case of the OSST driver for the OnStream tape drive, it
was not easy to get it working, but at least I had a direct email to the
driver implementor and he was *very* helpful and cooperative in correcting
the problems.
In the case of a Linux driver, I suspect it would be next to impossible to
resolve the problems.
