Looking for info/software/anything for 9-track adapter

[Tim Riker]

I have an ATC16:

http://www.idbcorp.com/atc16.html

Which seems to have been fairly popular. I can't find the software for
the card though. =( It's been quite some time since I used it.

However, there is a linux driver for this board that worked with some
realy old kernel. I've not tried to forward port it. Here's one mirror:

If anyone has the dos/windows atc-16 drivers or manual, I'd appreciate a
copy. I purchased them with the card. but that was around 1989 and I
can't find them now.
