Acess DAT with SCO 3.2

Hi,

I've just get a SCO UNIX computer that includes DAT reader. This computer also run a professionnal software i do not know. It runs Kornshell too.

I tried so use ls /dev/rmt, but I always have the same files... so, I think /dev/rmt is not the right file.

My question is : how can I get access to my DAT reader ? It seems that a file in /dev, may be /dev/rmt can provide me access to my DAT.

Thanks for reply.

I presume by DAT reader you mean a DDS-type tape drive.

tape drives cannot be mounted like hard drives; they are sequential devices, not block devices.
/usr/bin/tape handles most thing to do with tape drives, try 'man tape'.
