LTFS on Apple M1 Sillicon ?

[uwe22]

Is there any chance to have the LTFS HPE software for APPLE M1 sillicon? 

It would be wonderful to access my LTO5 tapes with my new computer.

Using drive LTO5HH Tandberg. I am very thankful for any recomendations.

Thank you for contacting HPE. The attaching the LTFS documentation and download link. As per the support matrix, it can support up till OS X 10.2 to 10.7. There is no other M1 version mentioned in the list. Still you can try installing the supported tools and check the same.

As of now, some components in HPE StoreOpen Software 3.5 seem to be universal binary 2, which is something to be happy about as it may indicate that HPE is undergoing migration; however, it's disappointing that 4 years after the release of Apple Silicon, there is still no news about native support for Apple Silicon by HPE StoreOpen Software, especially since a significant number of LTO users are engaged in video-related work on the Mac platform.
