Does anyone know of a service bureau that will write Grass data sets
(Unix file names, preserve time and date, etc.) from a 1/4 inch tape
(DC6525 compatible) to a CD-ROM. The only ones that I have talked
to so far have the CD-ROM working off a PC.Also has anyone had any luck reading data sets off a CD - any problems to
watch out for, or is it even possible?Thank you
Hello,
there are two possibilities:
Write the datasets to a CD-Writer. There are several CD-Writers
available (Philips, Sony, HP, JVC). You will need the appropriate
software. PC based is e.g. Corel SCSI, Easy-CD ... There is also
sofware available for Sun, HP, SGI. In Germany there are
several companies which write Data to CD-R for approx. DM 30.
If You'll create greater charges, e.g. more than 50 or 100 copies
create real CD4s. Take a CD manufacturer like Sony.
To store a Unix filesystem on CD You have to use the Rock Ridge
extension to the iso9660 CD Filesystem.
If You want to write CD-R's from Linux use mkisofs to create a
CD filesystem and cdwrite to write the CD-R.
