UU(4) | NetBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual (VAX) | UU(4) |
The uu device provides access to dual DEC TU-58 tape cartridge drives connected to the UNIBUS via a DL-11W interface module.
The interface supports only block I/O to the TU-58 cassettes (see physio(4)). The drives are normally manipulated with the arff(8) program using the ``m'' and ``f'' options.
The driver provides for an optional write and verify (read after write) mode that is activated by specifying the ``a'' device.
The TU-58 is treated as a single device by the system even though it has two separate drives, ‘uu0' and ‘uu1'. If there is more than one TU-58 unit on a system, the extra drives are named ‘uu2', ‘uu3' etc.
