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 -f \\\\.\\tape0 offline

$ mt -f //./tape0 offline

$ mt -f=\\\\.\\tape0 offline

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


Thx,
Brian
