TAPE
Version: 1.01 By: Peter Urbanec E-mail: peteru@null.net Web page: Available Release Date: Available Now	Info Last Modified: 7/22/97 Requires BeOS version: AA:PR License: Freeware Cost: $0 Source Available?: No
Description: A well documented SCSI-2 tape device driver. Includes a command line tool to control the device as well as header files and full documentation for the API. Can be used with tar to back up your system. Since Be Inc. have advised me that they have no intention of supplying a tape driver with the BeOS, I would like to propose that this be the standard driver that applications use to communicate with SCSI-2 tape drives.
