Hi guys, Dunno if anyone can help here, but I was recently given a Tandberg TDC 3325 and some tapes. The guy who gave this to me had it working in a PC with a SCSI controller running linux. I've not got any documentation for this drive at all, so I'd like to know what the SW1 dipswitch sets (I've worked out 1-3 are SCSI ID) Now I'd like to use this drive in my MV3100 to backup the VMS 5.4 install before I ditch it and start over with VMS 7.x. I put the drive in, and turned on the VAX - so far so good... VMS/VMB ULTRIX ADDR DEVTYP NUMBYTES RM/FX WP DEVNAM REV ------- ------ -------- ------ -------- ----- -- ------ --- ESA0 SE0 08-00-2B-23-3D-21 DKA300 RZ3 A/3/0/00 DISK 121 MB FX RZ23L 252B ...HostID.... A/6 INTR MKB400 TZ12 B/4/0/00 TAPE ........ RM ........... ...HostID.... B/6 INTR It's picking up the drive then (I tried it as MKA400 too - same result) So I start VAX/VMS 5.4 abd login as SYSTEM... $ initialise mkb400: foo %INIT-F-DRVERR, fatal drive error $ It doesn't run the tape at all when I do this, only when you first put the tape in. The activity LED comes on when you put a tape in, and doesn't flicker. I'm at a loss - could it be it's not 512 byte blocks? If so, can anyone tell me how to change it. I tried it on both SCSI channels, so it shouldn't be a termination issue. Any ideas people? --Matt
