Slow the data rate. Stay under 4800 as you may be getting buffer
overflows.
I'll see about trying that tomorrow. I don't really mind if
it
takes days to copy (I'm moving a 300+MB image) as long as it's
error-free.
That won't fly. VTserver v2.x has a 32MB file-size limit. :(
Whoa, are you sure? I'm quite certain that I used vtserver to
transfer a full-sized RD54 image to an 11/83 a few years ago.
My memory generally sucks; I may have done something else for that
image, but I know I've moved *some* images to that 11/83 using vtserver.
Well I guess I'll have to go to Plan B, which is somehow
recreating the RSTS/E install tapes (from .tap files) and getting a
tape drive working on the new system.
