I've finally got my StorageTek 2920 9-track drive
talking to my Emulex
QT13 QBUS->PERTEC adaptor under VMS... It *appears* to read the tapes OK
(I have no VMS formatted tapes, so I'm just guessing here), but when I try
and INITIALIZE MUA0:, the drive spins the tape for a second and then gives
me a "CC7" on its display and "Mach Chk" flashes. VMS calls it a
'parity
error'. Anyone know what is going on with this thing?
How about cleaning? Does this have a full self test program?
When I first took my TU81PLUS in operation I had to make 3
runs of good scrubbing with alcohol before it would want to
write a tape successfully. Also, it didn't work with every
tape.
