If I remove the tape, it errors on device not ready. Watching the LEDs on my Serial cable break_out there is activity on both line 2 then 3 as the tape cycles back and forth. I have used the same drive on a PDP11 to read the directory on some of the tapes with out any problems. what am I doing wrong here. - Jerry I was trying this with a Thinkpad laptop. Moved to a standard PC and everything worked fine. I use the Thinkpads with Procomm all the time. Easy to move and fit nicely on top of a Dec rack. Just not sure what would cause the PUTR problem - Jerry
