[comp.sys.apollo] Can't create a tar floppy under 10.1

markd@silogic.UUCP (Mark DiVecchio) (06/25/91)

I am running 10.1 on a network and I have a floppy drive on
a DN3000. I can wbak/rbak to the the floppy fine.

I can't get the BSD tar to either write to the floppy or read
floppies created on other systems (ie Xenix).

I've tried

	tar cvf /dev/fl0a file
	tar cvf /dev/rfl0a file
	tar cvf /dev/dsk/F0d0s1 file
	tar cvf /dev/rdsk/F0d0s1 file

In each case, the floppy drive clicks and spins for a few seconds
then I get a message "I/O Error" with no specifics. Any Ideas?
