2781.0. "SCSI-Tape(TZK50) & A2090" by MUNICH::CARLI (Bernardo da Vinci - the Amiga genius) Mon Jul 31 1989 05:18

    
    I'm urgently looking for a SCSI-Tape Device Driver. I would like to 
    connect a TZK50 (SCSI-Version of TK50) to my A2090. Also it would be
    very nice to have a tar-utility (Tape Archiver from the UNIX world...)
    for the Ami to use that tape. I heard there are people working on it.
    
    Maybe someone of you knows more???

    	I have spent many hours working on this. The current 2090
    driver can NOT support tapes. I have heard rumors that a new
    version of the driver is being written that allows direct SCSI
    access. I have a program that works with a GVP controller that 
    already supports direct SCSI and will control a TZK50.
    
    	The direct SCSI access calls are new and many companies are
    working on this addition to their driver.
