|

| 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>
