- I've had a little more luck. I faxed their buyer registration department
- (no way I'm phoning them from here!) and they faxed back some advice and
- a minimal list of QIC standards to implement. I am now trying to get my
- hands on the relevant standards - Australian Standards were no help at
- all. Their librarian claims that the are no Australian standards (and thus
- by implication no ISO standards) for the storage of data on magnetic
- tape!
-
- Does anyone have QIC standards available for FTP?
