I'm trying to read some tu58 tapes with PUTR.
mount dd0: com1:9600 /drive:0
It finds the drive and just cycles the tape back and forth
with out any errors, forever. . 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.
