hi guys, i have a machine with an IDE tape drive, 20Gb in size or so. my kernel has the ide-tape.o module, and /dev/ht0 exists. the logs are fine, in short... i think the tape drive just might work. however, i have no clue how to use it. could someone give me a primer? i looked online but couldn't find a nice linux & tapes primer. what software do i need? how can i format a tape? do i need to? how do i store onto tape? how can i read from tape? thanks, martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 1-800-psych hello, welcome to the psychiatric hotline. if you are schizophrenic, listen carefully and a little voice will tell you which number to press. echo dd if=/dev/zero of=`>`&connect(sick, man tar...) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
