GSOS or I believe there are some 8 bit programs, too) that knows how to store
files on the tape.
Open Advanced Disk Utilities when in GSOS and see if the SCSITAPE unit is
present-- then you will know the drive was identified ok. Then the next test--
see if you can backup. Open archiver, set your "backup to..." device as
SCSITAPE and hit start.
When the thing says "insert first backup tape" you insert a tape and hit
OK. If it starts giving you errors or repeating the message, then GS/OS doesn't
like your tape unit. If it works... then go out for a pizza or something while
the thing whiles away at your files. Try recovering selected files after the
backup to make sure the archive went ok so you can begin trusting in your tape
backups.

The device number (other than being unique) should not be relevent to
backing up to tape. I've always used something in the middle range of numbers
for my tape, typically id 3 or 4. This included when I was still using the RF
prom for backup.

RamFAST has a Backup function you can get to via Ramfast.system.
You need to have the "HD Backup" option under the [O]ptions menu set to
"No" in order to use tape (instead of something like a Zip Drive) for backup.
Then, you can select [B]ackup from the main menu bar.
Regarding the SCSI device number setting, 3 may be fine on a RamFAST.
Probably, you would want to remove any Apple drivers named "SCSI ..." from the
DRIVERS/ folder to eliminate possible conflicts with the Ramfast driver.

021- What about tape backup on a IIe?
The RamFAST has built-in volume image backup software (in background). The
only backup software I know of for the //e for tape drives is by Tim Grams and
it only works with an Apple Rev. C SCSI and the Apple Tape Backup 40SC (3m MCD-
40). This software is no longer supported though.
