NAME
ct - CS/80 cartridge tape interface
SYNOPSIS
"tape ct0 at hpib? slave ?"
DESCRIPTION
The cartridge tape interface as found in the 7946 and 9144 products provides a standard tape drive interface as described in mtio (4) with the following exceptions:

3 1. There is only one density.

3 2. Only the ``raw'' interface is supported.

3 3. The MTIOCTOP ioctl is limited. In particular, the command, MTFSR is not supported.

3 4. The MTIOCGET ioctl is not supported.

3 5. The record size for read and write operations must be between 1K and 64K inclusive.

Special files rct0 through rct3 refer to rewind on close interfaces to drives 0 to 3. Rct4 through rct7 refer to no-rewind interfaces. Rct8 through rct11 refer to streaming rewind on close interfaces. (Only 9144 type devices can stream.) Rct12 through rct15 refer to streaming no-rewind interfaces.

BUGS
Read and writes of less than 1024 bytes will not behave as expected.
