MTAPE(4)

NAME
mtape - 9-track tape pseudo device

DESCRIPTION
The devices mtape0 (rewind) and mtape8 (no rewind) are interfaces to the system 9-track tape drive. On SSM-based machines, they are links to rtg0 and rtg8, respectively. On SCED-based machines, they are links to rmt8 and rmt12, respectively. The mtape links provide a consistent interface to the 9-track tape drive, independent of the machine type. These links are created by /dev/MAKEDEV when invoked with "std", "mtape", or "ctape".
