I have a few questions on XENIX tape drives which maybe someone can address.
Using an Archive 60mb Internal system, in the /dev directory, we have the
following devices defined:
crw-rw-rw- 2 root superuser 25, 32 Dec 2 15:28 erct0
crw-rw-rw- 2 root superuser 25, 8 Dec 2 15:28 nrct0
crw-rw-rw- 2 root superuser 25, 24 Dec 2 15:28 nrct2
crw-rw-rw- 2 root superuser 25, 0 Dec 24 14:17 rct0
crw-rw-rw- 2 root superuser 25, 16 Dec 2 15:28 rct2
Now:
1. What is the difference between RCT0 and RCT2?
2. "ERCT0" is a device for a tape system w/ error correction, correct?
3. What are "NRCT#" and why use one of them over the RCT#
counterpart?
These have been sitting in my mind for awhile and nobody here seems to know
the answer.
