- Hi there,
-
- I recently got a tapestreamer (VERY old model with BIG tapes!), an 'Interpreter Tapexchange'. It can be
- connected to a PC's parallel port, and I have the software for it. Problem is, I don't work on my PC
- (It just gets dusty...), so nothing to back up there.
-
- Since it can be connected via the parallel port, I am thinking of using it for my Amiga 1200. Problem is, they did
- not give me software for the Amiga!
-
- I opened the tapestreamer, and I think it's just a SCSI-device (standard 50-pins SCSI-like connector), with
- a separate print for the SCSI to parallel conversion. Sounds simple enough, but now the question:
-
- How can I control the device (preferably with parallel.device), what commands can be transmitted, how do I send
- them, etc. etc...?
-
- Any help is very welcome!
-
- Thanks,
-
