Hi!

Is it possible to use tape0 as /dev/nst0, i.e. let mt position the
tape and read from e.g. third track?

mt -f /dev/tape0 fsf 1 did not work.

Thanks

Why do I think you are talking about Unix or Linux commands here?

Your question does not solve the problem. I've checked the manual on
mt, and can see that there is no such thing as the fsf parameter. If I
was to rephrase the question, it would be "How do I use the Windows
Vista SUA to cue the tape to proper position and dump the data fra
that pos. to EOF".
 
Your attitude doesn't help either.

He said it seemed like you were attempting to use *nix based command
variables in an NT-based environment.

He was trying to figure out what you're up to.

If you can be nice then I'm sure someone will help.

SUA is a Qt/KDE-based sip user agent, according to freshmeat.net. If you
are going to interface with a tape drive from Vista you won't be able to do
it with the command strings as listed. I don't doubt that you could do it
using something like PowerShell. See:

What has to happen in addition to that I don't know but also see:
