Paul,
  I have a couple but no way to identify what OS they support. They are
version 6154 and 6189.
I may have others but will need to look further, do you have a version
range that support 2000?

Hi folks,

I have someone who has an (out of maintenance) 3592-J1A (FC) Magstar
tape
drive with a need to attach it to either Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
The
currently available IBMtape drivers only support 2003 and 2008.

However, I recall from experience that IBMtape used to be supported on
2000,
and some online digging suggests that at one time it was supported on
XP.
Normally I would have just gone to the boulder FTP site and downloaded
older
drivers.  However it appears that recently that's all come down in
favour of
fix central.  :(

SOOOooo.... knowing that at one time in my life I used to packrat this
sort
of thing, I'm wondering if there's anyone out there who may have stowed
away
somewhere older IBMtape drivers that support 2000 or XP?  :)  If so, any
chance you're willing to share?

regards,

Paul
