Congrats on getting it to boot!
The cartridge drive is not happy.. it will load the
tape, but the
red load light stays on, and VMS reports "device not found", and
SHOW DEV shows it as unmounted.
Ah. I've seen that before in TK50's. What you need to do is pull it
out, remove the cover and head guard, and clean the head. Use the same
procedures you would for wet-cleaning of professional audio tape decks.
I would *really* like to discover how to
mount/access the Cipher
drive.. I have VMS 4.3 manuals, but I haven't found the right info
Its device name should be MUB0. You might load a scratch tape and then
try the following command.
mount /foreign MUB0:
Include the colon. If it works, you should see the thing move its reels
momentarily and then stop.
Best of luck!
