Hi. I have 2 tape drives, a wangtech in my UNIX system,
and an archive on my dos system.
I don't know the model number of the Wangtech drive, but it uses
cartridges with the following info printed on them:
Large Data Cartridges
CMG-9270 (836) CM320
320MB tape crtg 116570-001
or
cartridges that hodl 525MB. they are the dc600 style.
the archive drive is an 21255, both SCSI.
the question is 
What QIC format do these units read/write?

Also, i will be using the Archive on an Adaptech 1542B.
I have read the articles in several groups, and folks
seem to recommend either the aspitar program, or aspitape.
I do not have access to ftp, so where can i get either/both of 
these programs? I looked on Adaptech's bbs and didn't see them there.
I also called Adaptech's tech support several times, and no one has
called me back yet.
I already have the aspi4dos software.
Any help would be appriciated.
