    It isn't too difficult:


    1. Plug in the 2150S drive.

    2. Use it as /dev/rmt/tcN (where N is its SCSI ID).  Be sure to use
       multiples of 8k-byte blocks, as you would with an Apple 40-MB
       cartridge.

       For example: % dd if=/dev/rmt/tc5 bs=80k | cpio ic

       Although the Archive can deal with any multiple of 512 bytes, it
       streams better with larger sizes, and forcing 8K makes it work
       like the Apple drive.

    This, of course, doesn't constitute a product announcement, "which
    can only be made by formal prospectus."  We just don't advertise
    support of the Archive drive.

My opinion is my own. My employer? They use a windsock and a fire extinguisher.
