It's a Conner TSM850R internal unit with a floppy tape interface. The floppy tape code is compiled into the kernel. Whenever we try it, the tape just keeps going and going and going! There is no way to stop it aside from yanking the tape out of the drive. Even sending "kill 9" to the process won't abort it. ___ _______| | ___ ___ | ____| |___\ \/ / | |____|_______|| | |_______| |____| Cly Salleh clys@visinet.ca http://www.visinet.ca/~clys ~Toronto~CANADA~
