Greetings,
 
   I have been given a task to create a program to read/write data from
a SCSI tape drive under os/2. I mainly am trying to get tar/cpio to work.
How do I access the SCSI tape. Do I work with the SCSI adaptor or is there
hooks into the SCSI adapter device driver. Is there a SCSI developers kit
like on SUN's and other WS's. My current setup is an Adaptec 1542 and
and Archive Viper ST525 Tape drive. Any help would be appreciated.

                             Thanx in Advance,

                             Ed Geraghty
