The problem I have is that I can't use block sizes larger than 4k. If I try larger sizes (to get the tape stream), no data are transferred. I used the command dd if=/dev/rwt0 bs=512000 of=tape The command simply returns, but that's it. Is there a more recent version of /sys/i386/isa/wt.c than that of July 92? I want to write a driver of my own. Unfortunately, I don't have any information about the QIC-02 programming interface and hardware. Where can I find such info? If there's interest I'll summarize.
