Okay, I am at wits end. How the *hell* does one get the ft driver to
work properly???!! I have tried everything, tar, dump to about 6
different BRAND NEW tapes of varying brand names! I have spent approx 2
hours a piece reformatting them but still no luck! No matter what, ft
always complains about a "unrecoverable write eror" and then the tape
just spins forever..ft cannot be killed either.
What gives?? I am using a Colorado Jumbo 250 btw.
