Hi, all!
Once, I was dismantling very old very long dead rusty box, which once
ran some version of SCO UNIX.
And I've got a strange device I've seen nowhere else - floppy-attached
tape drive, labelled Irwin, model 285. Drive looks
OK visually, motor wiring is perfect, so I can't see why it won't work.
I tried to make it run with old and new versions of Linux, but failed.
Do anybody have any documentation
regarding this?
Also - how wide these devices were used? I've never met one before
while I can't say I have little IT experience.
All the best,
S.

I have seen , I think 2 years ago, a company in California which still
offered these drives brand new and tapes for them.Try to google.
The only system I know, which supports these drives, is Coherent.
You can still find sources of the driver and eventually port it to SCO.
But probably the manufacturer of this drive offers drivers for SCO.
