I have been tinkering around with my VaxStation 2000 and a couple of
TK-50Zs that I have. One is an FA and the other a GA so I am able to set
them at differing SCSI node values.
My thought was that I could use both on the VaxStation and use them to
duplicate some tapes that are save_set(s). Apparently it cannot be done
on the VS. Either unit is recognized when connected alone, but when both
are connected the FA is always recognized as MUA0 and the GA is ignored.
Does anyone have an explanation for this, or am I just doing it wrong?
Assuming failure on the two tape approach, how might I make the duplicate
tape(s) without wiping out the contents of my hard disk? It is at the
moment fairly lightly loaded and may hold the save_set. The HD is an RD54
by the way and I am running VMS 5.5.
Thanks!
