There is tar in Cygwin and also the new Linux in Windows 10. But the idea is to find out if the devices work properly in native Windows. If they fail with Cygwin you prove nothing.
That is a good point. I guess it would prove that the windows driver is working but it might fail in the emulated linux environment. I will try this anyway to see what happens.
In the meantime is there a free bit of windows software to write to tape?
Last tape I used was around 1997, and I used some proprietary software included with the unit. I understand you got your units second hand; it is possible that the initial owner kept the software, if it existed. Otherwise, maybe the manufacturer provides some software for free :-? It might be not the full fledged one. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
