Compaq Tape Drive under Bell Tech Unix

[James Carter]

I am trying to bring up Locus' MERGE 386 with Bell Tech UNIX on a Compaq
386 Deskpro (16mhz) and am doing pretty good except for the gottcha....

There seems to be no tape driver in Bell Techs Unix for the internal 40mb
Compaq Tape Drive. It appears to be driven off of the floppy disk controller
board with some rather unusual method of motor/head step control.

I hope that someone in netland has solved this problem (ie can tell me how
or where to find a driver for this thing) or knows someone else who has.

Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated since Locus Computing has been
trying to fix it with a DOS patch for the last 3 months...it doesn't work
yet!

Oh yes, Bell Tech is no help; to quote them "contact the vendor (Locus) that
you bought it from, they should be able to help you".

My daytime voice phone is (918) 252-5791 x 28.
