Sorry - I've only just come across your question as I must have missed it first time round.I know it's a long shot, but do you happen to have a copy of the Akhter Streamer Archiver floppy, that has the 3 x different programmes on please?
Unfortunately not - I never owned one of these for the Beeb and have never come across the software. I did pick up an Irwin tape drive a while back but I'm not sure if it's the floppy interface variety.
I also found this online which partly explains how to write the driver software. I also read that there may be a suitable driver in the Coherent OS sources.
Do you have the tape streamer and suitable tapes? If so, it may be possible to figure out how to drive the thing. The Akhter manual (and other sources) say it works best with dealer formatted tapes.
