I don't know where/how this discussion got steered into using rmt and/or other IP based ideas (nfs) to access the simh tape drives, but if all of the involved systems (simh VAX and the physical Alpha) are in a VMS Cluster, then the simulated VAX Tape drives can be accessible cluster wide and they should just work as if they were local devices. - Mark _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list Simh@trailing-edge.com http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
