Lines: 34 I was able to gen in my tape drive into system (int 5 , addr 338) and was able to read tar tapes from an SCO UNIX system. However, when I write tapes, all appears to be O.K., but the data is not on the tape. I get skipping... error when I try to do a tar -tvf /dev/rwt0. The tape also has errors on the SCO UNIX system. Has anybody had this error on the wt tape? Is there a DMA problem that writes just part of the data? BTW: I was able to gen in the lpt driver and get it to work with a LJ III printer. I had to hack the #include's in lpt.c, but it seems to work fine. I am using device 14 (E) for the LP. I made a node lpt0 and linked it to lp0 and lp. It works fine. I have not tried the lp.c posted earlier to this group. BTW2: If I let my system set at the # prompt for 30 or more minutes, the system will lock up and I have to re-boot. Has anybody seen this? Is this a hardware problem, or is there a console driver problem? It does not happen all of the time. Thanks for any help, Jim Bevier jbev@jbsys.com P.S. Has anyone got a TB+ modem to work with 386BSD? I have not tried it yet, but want to. -- +=+ From the mountains of Colorado: jbev@jbsys.com +=+ +=+ when it's not snowing, the sun is shining +=+ +=+ Jim Bevier - J B Systems (303)-697-1038 +=+ +=+ 10136 Horizon View, Morrison, CO 80465 +=+
