 |
|
I know this is a SCSI group but I have a windows app that talks to all my
scsi and fibre drives no problem. I *think* that the IDE AIT drive I have is
kapuut to be honest (my system has locked up sever times and it doens't want
to eject correctly), however if I want to talk to this ide drive from my
app, what do I need to do??
TIA

What O/S does your 'app' run on? If it's Windows then you should see a
standard interface like \\.\Tape<x> and you can use the standard tape
functions associated with it. The (mini)port driver hides all interface
specifics.

SCSI_PASS_THROUGH_DIRECT works just fine on my IDE version
