Robert,
I would just ask them if the tape drive requires special drivers on the
PC. If it does, then it would certainly require drivers on the Amiga. If it
doesn't require any special drivers and responds normally as a floppy does,
then it's possible it might work. Of course bear in mind that the Amiga floppy
is not directly compatible with PC floppies. The trackdisk.device may not be
able to work with the tape drive unless the drive itself worked like an Amiga
floppy drive. It's really doubtful that the manufacturer will know anything
about the Amiga. There is some stuff around about making a PC floppy drive
work in an Amiga, so that may be an alternative consideration.
