I am wanting to write a shareware utility to give a dump of files/directories on a tape, allow for searching of a file/dir on tape, and be able create a "master-list" of all files/directories on many tapes. I am looking for information/source code that shows how to communicate with tape drives compatible with the Colorado DJ-10/20 (120MB/250MB) QIC-40 and QIC-80 type of tape drives. I have a program called TAPEDUMP.EXE that does something similar to the type of program I want to write, but it only dumps the first volume of each tape. The entire .EXE file is only 17K, so I know there can't be too much to communicating with the drive. Any help would be welcomed, Jason Worley
