Hello --
I have a Colorado Memory Systems Jumbo 40 Mb tape drive
and I am having some trouble when using it under XENIX:
1) Sometimes when I boot XENIX I get the message
"boot error: 11" or "boot error: 10". Rebooting
clears the problem. This never happened before
I installed the tape drive.
2) When I try to tar some files to the tape, it
goes back and forth, like it is trying to write a
block and then rewinds, and gets nothing out.
If I remove the tape and let tar time out with a
tape write error, re-insert the tape, let it
rewind, and start tar again, it works fine.
These are not critical problems but they are annoying. Anyone
else out there experiencing this?
Thanks,
John
