I have a Colorado/Cipher QFA-700 tape drive. I would like to exchange files from a Sun Sparstation. I believe the QFA-700 is QIC-02. It comes with it's own tape back-up software for DOS and UNIX. I installed the card and software in a 386sx isa clone running ATT Unix V 3.2. The installation utility rebuilds the kernel and creates /dev/rjt0. I can tar to/from the device and I can swap 5.25 tarred floppies between the ATT Unix and FreeBSD 1.0.0. What I can't do - and desparatly need to do - is to swap files between a Sun Sparcstation and this drive. I assume the Sun drive attached to the Sparcstation is SCSI. I'm using 6150 tapes. Also, does anyone know if this devices now works with FreeBSD? I tried installing this some time ago and ran into problems. Thanks for your help. My e-mail address is noni4737@hgc.edu.
