The rst0 file writes the old QIC-11 format tapes (which are lower density) and the rst8 device writes the newer QIC-24 format. The Apollo cartridge drives handle QIC-24 tapes only. -- David Krowitz krowitz@richter.mit.edu (18.83.0.109) krowitz%richter.mit.edu@eddie.mit.edu krowitz%richter.mit.edu@mitvma.bitnet (in order of decreasing preference)
