This is not a simple matter of opinion: How available is programming information for these? I am attempting to interface to the Apple 40SC tape unit connected to non-Mac hardware and am having fits trying to get it to do something useful. Apple obviously knows how they work, but they aren't telling. They say to call APDA. APDA wants to sell me something called a SCSI developers package, but nobody there seems to know if it contains detailed information about the SCSI commands accepted by the tape drive. Either it doesn't accept "standard" SCSI commands or I am doing something wrong. In either case, it is frustrating sending SCSI packits at it "blind" and getting no useful results. -Fred -- # Fred Fish, 1346 West 10th Place, Tempe, AZ 85281, USA # noao!nud!fishpond!fnf (602) 921-1113
