Howdy,
I recently installed an HP 4mm DAT (Sure Store 2000e) on our Alpha 3000/700
running dUnix 3.2C. Although the tape drive appears to be working, i.e.
you can read and write tapes, the tape drive causes error messages on boot
up that prevent an unattended reboot. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.
