- A "Better-Than-Nothing" scsi tape driver
- .description
- The "Better Than Nothing" SCSI tape device handler. It provides flat-file
- access to a SCSI tape drive from application programs using simple calls to
- DOS or C library I/O functions. It can also be used with the Amiga TAR
- utility for disk backups. It uses your existing SCSI adapter's device
- driver for access to the bus. This version fixes a number of bugs and
- includes several new features including file number tracking and append-only
- and read-only safety modes.
