Hello,

you can 'pipe' scanner to redirect data stream into uasm in order to 'restore
while reading' (but only on the computer which holds tapes drive).

scanner /dev/rmt7.1 -x uasm ?ruv ?iY

Check tapes order by issuing a 'mminfo -r 'sumflags'' on your tapes to mount
them beginning by the first...

May you can find it usable ?

Denis.
