Lucky you!  Both of my tape drives are dead, although
on my main MDFS the tape drive was said to be working
when I bought it.

I wonder what would happen if I changed the Syquest
drive ID to the ID of the tape drive, which I think is 4.

If anyone is thinking of hacking the MDFS code, my request
list is:

1.  Bigger disc partitions than 60MB
2.  More than 8 partitions per disc
3.  More than 8 hard disc partitions available when the
     MDFS is online.
4.  More than 8 SCSI IDs available for hard discs

Should be enough to be going on with!!!!

Best wishes,



Ian

I have a working tape drive!  :-)  It's one of the 60MB versions.
