Greetings Programs! Does any one out there have any experience with the new 4mm DAT tape drives? I just got a Wang DAT SCSI tape drive, and I'd like to know what the proper parameters to 'dump' are. It's hooked up to a Sun 4/65 running SunOS 4.1. The parameters I'm using now are: % dump 0cbdsf 250 545000 197 /dev/rst0 /Ma But it is s*l*o*w!! It's taking 6 hours to backup 500Mg. That can't be right. If anyone has any ideas, I'd like to hear them. I'll summerize and post results. Thanks in advance. _________________________________________________________________ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eric D.
