Programmer's Tips Host System Integration Host System Integration The integration effort required to utilize these tape drive products varies by software and desired feature support. This section provides hints for the following: • Creating a driver from a SCSI tape driver • Modifying the driver to work with an autochanger • Developing a tape library application Prerequisites Before reading the remaining sections, you should be very familiar with the following: • SCSI terminology • SCSI operations • Tape drivers • Programming concepts B- 10 Appendix B
