This program will work with a file, and a floppy device, but not a tape device.

can anyone give me some pointers? what do i have to do differently to write to tape?

I've never used tape before, but I know tape is not quite as ambidextrous as a file or floppy device. So, instead of O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC, I'd try a simple O_WRONLY. Or other things. Maybe. -Chuck
