Where's the actual controls interpreted?

17 Jul 2003

      I've been searching and searching and followed every link I can find, but I
have no luck..

So, can somebody please tell me in which module the actual command
interpreter sits?  I mean, if I enter;
 'mt -f /dev/xx0 reten' it should send different commands to different types
of tape drives.  But in what module is the 'translation' made? 

Is it in parport, paride, epat or pt ?  If I can find that out, perhaps I
can fix the code myself, guided from the QIC standards documents.
