BTNtape is a "Better Than Nothing" SCSI tape device handler. It provides
flat-file access to a SCSI tape drive from application programs using
simple DOS calls to Read() and Write(). It can also be used with the Amiga
TAR utility for disk backups. Files may span multiple tape volumes
and may start at any tape block. This handler requires a "SCSI-direct"
compatible hard disk driver. It is known to work with a 3-M MCD-40 tape
drive on the CBM 2091 controller, the CBM 2090A with an ST506 hard drive,
and the Supra 4x4, and may also work with others (refer to the docs).
Included is a monitoring program which prints useful information
about handler activities, including error sense data.
Includes ANSI C source code.
