GAPLESS Long Block tape Device Driver

GAPLESS is a device driver that allows the "gapless" 9-track mag tapes created by the geophysical and other industries to be read on the SGI platform. All standard utilities and user-written programs may be thereby used to read long block tapes.

GAPLESS runs on SGI machines running IRIX 4.0.5 or 5.x., and which are equipped with an M4 9914 9-track tape drive. This tape drive is an SGI-approved GoldSeal product.

The current version of GAPLESS is 3.04 for IRIX 4.0.5, and 4.01 for IRIX 5.x.

Berg Software Design is also available for device driver contract work.
