My setup:
Xenix 286 2.3.2, Update level R
My problem: I just installed a Colorado Memory Systems "Jumbo"
mini tape drive that attaches to my floppy controller. I installed this
in a DOS machine and it worked beautifully. Soooo, I thought I'd put it
in my Xenix box and do that yearly backup I've always been meaning to
get around to...
Followed everything by the book (several times), but "format
/dev/rctmini" pauses for a few seconds, then spins the floppy drive,
then eventually comes back with "can't open /dev/rctmini."
Is there something about the CMS mini drive that I should know?
I couldn't find a comprehensive list of supported tape drives in the
Xenix documentation...
Anybody?

I doubt if Hercules has an opinion on this; if they do, it's probably not mine.
