    Hi,

    the PCS Cadmus is/was a Q-BUS based 68K system. Its Unix kernel is
    highly related to PDP-11 and VAX-Unix implementations.
    Its kernel driver library contains a driver for a device dubbed KEDQS
    which appears to be a superset of a Dilog DQ-120 mag tape formatter driver.

    I am analyzing this driver code and found various operations and
    functions that are not documented in the DQ-120 users guide at
    bitsavers. A document found at archive.org appears to be just a bad
    photocopy of the original DQ120, without the used extensions.

    Does anyone have more detailed docs on this beast, or even source code
    from some PDP-11 Unix where this device driver maybe stems from?

    Regards
    Holger
