69 | <B>A: </B>If your tape drive and its firmware and the kernel-level
|

70 | driver support fopen(), fread(), fwrite() and fclose() - standard C
|
---|
71 | library calls - then yes, Mondo should support it. If not, well, you
|
---|
72 | need a refund. :) Mondo plays nicely with any sane, sensible drives.
|
---|
73 | That's most of them, by the way. :) If your drive doesn't play nicely
|
---|
74 | with Mondo then you may try tinkering with setblksize and defblksize
|
---|
75 | using 'mt', or tweaking Mondo's block size by recompiling it with
|
---|
76 | make INTTAPE=4096 or INTTAPE=8192 or something. Other than that, you
|
---|
77 | need a priest or a refund.</P>
