5gig tapes on an Ultrix 3.1 box: How do I make it read 2.3g tapes?

Post by Michael 'Moose' Di » Fri, 07 Aug 1992 04:42:30



I have a 5 gig tape (an EXB 8500) on an Ultrix 3.1 box (MIPS, not VAXen).
I want to make the drive read high and low density tapes (5 and 2.3 gig tapes).

I've found no clues looking through /usr/sys/.../*.h, or anything else.

How does one do this?

Thanks in advance...

1. Need tape utility to read VMS BACKUP tape on Unix/Ultrix.

I know someone must have solved this problem.  I have access to Unix systems,
4.3bsd as well as Ultrix, but no VMS.  A customer sent me a tape which was
made on VMS 4.6 with the BACKUP command.  I want to read this tape, of course.
Does anyone know of a utility, whether public domain or otherwise, which does
the trick?  Thanks in advance.
