Qantex Magnetic Tape Drive Model 600 Controller

摘要

The controller is designed on a model 4801 general-purpose controller that accesses the ModComp I/O Buss through a PCI. The controller is software compatible with the existing tape drive handler (M3MT) used for the larger drives that runs under the MAX II/III REV I Operating System. Track select for the Qantex is provided for by one of three ways: Rex service, operator communication directive, or Fortran call. This design approach provides a means of reading and writing cartridge tapes under system control with a minimum of software generation. 3 figures, 1 table. (ERA citation 04:011977)
