Asdcarl.118 net.bugs.4bsd utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!ucsfcgl!sdcarl!rusty Thu Dec 10 01:42:27 1981 tape error We just recently converted to 4.1bsd and are now having a problem with our te16/tm03 tape drive. Whenever you try to open the drive when there is no tape online you get the usual message about it not being online, but when a tape is subsequently put on line on the drive directly afterwards we always get the UNSAFE error bit. It goes away the next time you try to open the drive. Does anybody know what the problem and/or cure is? ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
