Hi,
I have an HP 88780 3-density 9-track tape unit on my Sun Sparc stationActually, I have IRAF 2.10.4. Is there a Solaris specific driver for this
HP tape unit?cliffcliff@astro.ucla.edu

Hi Cliff,
We don't have any specifically for 9-track drives but a first guess
would be something like:mta|Generic HP 9-track entry, unit 0| :tc=mtst0.solaris.6250:
mtb|Generic HP 9-track entry, unit 0| :tc=mtst0.solaris.1600:
mtc|Generic HP 9-track entry, unit 0| :tc=mtst0.solaris.800:mthp0h|mtst0.solaris.6250|HP 9-track drive on Solaris on unit 0:\
:al=0 0bn 0cb 0cn 0hb 0hn 0lb 0ln 0mb 0mn 0u 0ubn \
0b 0c 0cbn 0h 0hbn 0l 0lbn 0m 0mbn 0n 0ub 0un:\
:dv=0hbn:lk=0:tc=9tk-6250:
mthp0m|mtst0.solaris.1600|HP 9-track drive on Solaris on unit 0:\
:al=0 0bn 0cb 0cn 0hb 0hn 0lb 0ln 0mb 0mn 0u 0ubn \
0b 0c 0cbn 0h 0hbn 0l 0lbn 0m 0mbn 0n 0ub 0un:\
:dv=0mbn:lk=0:tc=9tk-1600:
mthp0l|mtst0.solaris.800|HP 9-track drive on Solaris on unit 0:\
:al=0 0bn 0cb 0cn 0hb 0hn 0lb 0ln 0mb 0mn 0u 0ubn \
0b 0c 0cbn 0h 0hbn 0l 0lbn 0m 0mbn 0n 0ub 0un:\
:dv=0lbn:lk=0:tc=9tk-800:This should be close but we could iterate on it if there are problems. To
test this be sure you can write a new tape, append to an existing tape,
position arbitrarily within the tape, and read tapes written elsewhere.
If you have problems or other questions let us know.Cheers,
