- Hm. I *did* think about porting something like tar for this CMS floppy
- tape, but i realized i wouldn't be able to. The reason is, that i
- absolutely have no idea, how to program the floppy controller to
- read/write/format tapes. I tried to get it from tape.exe (the DOS
- version), but they built-in a scheduler that fooled my debugger
- (td386).
-
- If someone can tell me about this, i'd give it a try, but DMA under
- virtual memory and direct hardware programming *is* difficult.

- ... and for SCSI tapes *only*. Does this solve your problem?
