Hi netters,

	I have a bit of a problem, I am trying to set up a pc with a
tape drive, the tape drive is an Irwin Magnetics model 120 configuration
AP, it is about 5 years old, and connects directly on to the floppy
controller. The problem I am having is that the software for the drive
has been lost. Would anyone out there know how this drive should be set up
and what software can drive it. The distributer mentioned to me that
the drives used something called Easy Tape or EZtape, I have tried SYTOS
software but it does not seem to work. Also would anyone have specs on
this drive, like its capacity (I think it is a 120Mb from the model number
but I am only guessing). Any help would be grately appreciated, as I have
not had any experience with tape drives. Thanks in advance,

							Remek.

P.S. Please email your responses as I am not able to read the news groups
very often, I will post or mail a summary if anyone requests it.
