Hi folks!

A friend of mine asked me to post this question, as he does not
have access to News:

Hello,

A few months ago I bought a tape unit for a cheap price on a computer
exchange.
The tape unit was unused (wrapped in plastic) so I had a rather positive
attitude towards the idea that the machine should work. It was an Irwin
Modelnr: 245, Serialnr: 0050519, Confignr: BH-06.
The tape-unit was accompanied with 2 manuals. One for the Irwin 110&125
series and one for the Irwin 400 series.  As you will understand, no manual
for my tape unit as far as I am able to understand something about
modelnumbers and series numbers. There was also no software included!

Can anyone help me with with the following questions?

1.How should I attach this tape unit to my computer?
Do I need a special card for it? The unit contains a plug which is the same
as on my floppy disks. Can I attach it the same way as a floppy disk?
2.What is the capacity of this tape unit?
3.Which tapes should I use for it?
4.Is there a possibility of getting software for this machine.
5.Are there still manuals available for this thing and where can I get them?

I'd appreciate any information. Thanks in advance.

Thanx!
