Hi all,
I'd like to be able to read QIC tapes created on a Unix system
on an MS-DOS computer.  There are lots of companies selling QIC
drives for the PC, but I doubt very much that any of them provide
device drivers that let you access them in a way compatible with tar.
Has anyone else dealt with this problem?
Please reply to dank@blacks.jpl.nasa.gov.
Thanks!
