T White enscribed:
| I have a old 40MB QC-20 (I think) tape I need to read on OSR 5.0.6 system, I
| tried a installpkg floppy for a  250 MB Colorado drive and it locks up
| during the install, I tried mkdev tape , no luck.  Can anyone give me a hand
| , I would gladly pay a fee for the files on this old tape.



Colorado floppy tape drives never worked very well (to be very kind),
starting with 3.2v4.2 (1993), they barely worked, if at all.  These
drives were >never< supported on any SCO Unixen or Xenix system.














If it was not made on a Colorado drive, it might work.  Your choices
when you ran mkdev tape would be (in order):



        3. Install Qic-40 or Qic-80 Tape Drive
        2. Install Mini-Cartridge Tape Drive
