I recently acquired a used tape streamer, without manuals or software, and I am 
looking for any information on the drive or even better the right software.

It has written on it (Hewlett-Packard logo) D2045A-60001 and it's a 120MB 
drive, it also has Irwin model 187 Product ID 287 GW-11 written on it.

It plugs in as a floppy drive but causes an error on drive B on switching on my 
PC, it has settings for
___ ___ ___     ___
DS1,DS2,DS3 and DS4 which, looking at the edge connector, seem to equate to DS0-
3 (respectively) on a normal floppy.

Can anybody help? Replies by email preferred.
