I decided to run a number of different tapes to try to determine whether
my TK50Z drive was defective or the tapes were not bootable. Below are
the results of the tests. Since in each case the results are somewhat
different, I conclude that the drive reads OK, and that the tapes are
suspect. Does anyone have a different perspective?
Don,
Do you have any tapes that say anything about Standalone backup? I don't
know about Ultrix, but with VMS you've first got to boot Standalone backup
and the use it to load VMS.
