I found a thread regardiing this in the archives but it degenerated into a discussion of the virtues of being multi-lingual without telling me what I need to know. I have a Sony DAT Drive. It is set up as follows BUS = 0 PORT = 1 LUN = 0 ID = 3 I am not sure what device this would be under Cygwin (assuming that there is one) I also have a generic ASPI driver installed for the tape as well ( I think ). The SCSI controller is an Advansys ABP-9X0. I have a requirement to read a single (very large) file from a tape written on a unix system using dd and a 512 byte block size. I can't seem to find any way to do this under NT so am looking to Cygwin as an alternative.
