Bandlaufwerk am Mac

Das gibt es! Es heisst DeskTape und ist von Optima
Die Bedienung ist ziemlich einfach. Band in das Laufwerk schieben
und nach dem ueblichen Geratter erscheint es dan auf dem Macinotsh
Desktop.

Eine Demoversion gibt es unter 
<ftp://ftp.luth.se//pub/mac/demo/desktapedemot2.0.sit.hqx>

Einziger Wermuthstropfen: Es laeuft nur mit SCSI-2 und es kostet was.

Ich poste hier mal das README aus der DEMO

------------------------------------------------------
INTRODUCING DESKTAPE
DeskTape allows you to mount 4-mm and 8-mm tape subsystems on the desktop.
You can copy files to or from the tape like you would to a hard disk. 
Since the tape is a mounted volume, you can view and open documents
directly from the tape.


------------------------------------------------------
ABOUT THIS DEMO
This demo version of DeskTape is fully functional except the tape volume
size is limited to 40MB.


------------------------------------------------------
COMPATIBILITY
DeskTape supports the following tape mechanisms:
HP 35470, HP 35480, HP C1533, Wangtek 6130HS rev 4B14 or later, 
Exabyte EXB-8500 rev 0472 or later, EXB-8500C rev 04U0 or later, 
EXB-8505 rev 04U0 or later, Archive Python 4320NT rev 2.96 or later, 
Archive Python 4322 rev 3.89 or later, Archive Python 4324 rev 4.28 or
later,
Archive Python 4326 rev 4.98 or later, WangDAT 1300 rev 2.1 or later, 
WangDAT 3100 rev 1.9 or later, and WangDAT 3200 rev 1.9 or later.

Some DAT drives can be configured (by a DIP Switch) for SCSI-1 or SCSI-2. 
Refer to the documentation for your drive to configure it to SCSI-2.


------------------------------------------------------
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
You must have a Macintosh Plus or higher, System 6.0.5 or later, and 2.5
MB of contiguous
hard disk space on your startup drive. The startup volume should be a
hard disk. 


------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION
� Drag the DeskTape icon to the System folder. Under System 7, a dialog
will appear 
asking you if you want to place DeskTape in the Control Panels folder.
Click OK.
� Restart your Macintosh.
� Insert a blank tape. The standard blank disk dialog should appear. (DAT
tapes take 2 to 3 minutes to format.)
� After the format, the tape icon should appear on the desktop. You can
now copy files to the tape.
� You should copy at least one file to a newly formatted tape. If you
unmount a newly formatted 
   tape without copying at least one file to it, you will be forced to
reformat it the next time it is inserted.


------------------------------------------------------
THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR
� You should NOT share a tape volume over a network. However, you can
copy network volumes to a tape.
� Do not use the "Show version" checkbox in the "Views" control panel.
This considerably slows down the 
Finder views for tape windows because the tape has to reposition for each
file.  
� Some tape drives have non-standard compression formats and you may have
problems interchanging tapes 
with other drives. The preferred compression format is DDS-DC. Also,
compressed tapes cannot be used with
non-compression drives.
