tape drive on nt

[Brian Perkins]

Hello all,

I once used the MKS utilities to access my Exabyte 8505XL (but, the demo period expired ;)

So, has anyone got any of the CygWin magnetic tape utilities to work on NT?
I get these same results from a cmd or bash shell...

$ mt -V
mt V1.9.1, Corinna Vinschen, Jul 23 2000

$ mt offline
mt: '(null)' is no tape device.

$ mt -f \\.\tape0 offline
mt: '(null)' is no tape device.

$ mt -f \\\\.\\tape0 offline
mt: '(null)' is no tape device.

$ mt -f //./tape0 offline
mt: '(null)' is no tape device.

$ mt -f=\\.\tape0 offline
mt: '(null)' is no tape device.

$ mt -f=\\\\.\\tape0 offline
mt: '(null)' is no tape device.

$ mt -f=//./tape0 offline
mt: '(null)' is no tape device.


(Btw, tar and dd do not work either!)


Thx,
Brian
