Description

Prior to Version 2.0, this device was referenced by tmscp(4). 

The TMSCP driver provides a standard tape drive interface, as described in mtio(.). This is a driver for any controller that adheres to the Tape Mass Storage Control Protocol (TMSCP). The TMSCP controllers communicate with the host through a packet-oriented protocol termed the Tape Mass Storage Control Protocol. This driver also supports n-buffered reads and writes to the raw tape interface (used with streaming tape drives). See nbuf() for further details.

Tape Support

TK50, TK70, TF70, TU81, TU81e, TA78, TA79, TA81, RV20, TA90, TA90E, TA91
