Lines: 12 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. Ken Mitchum KY3B km@cadre.dsl.pitt.edu
