I am working on a version of floppy.c that handles an old Cipher tape
drive using DC-600s (only gets 25mb on a tape, though!). This unit looks
like six very large floppies, and the individual streams are selected
by "illegal" combinations of the drive/motor select lines for drives
"C" and "D". I have several other projects right now, and these units are
not readily available anywhere, but I will made the driver available
when it is done.
