[comp.sys.apollo] cpio and the WS ExaTape, at 9.7.5

SRFERGU@ERENJ.BITNET (Scott Ferguson) (06/01/90)

Hi. I've got a Workstation Solutions ExaTape, on a DN4000 running 9.7.5,
and will stay at 9.7.5 until I can find a vector processor with support
software that's actually supported at sr10.

Does anyone use the WS ExaTape at 9.7.5 with cpio? They say in their
manual that you can use output redirection to the magtape descriptor
file if you set up the right 'stubs' links. Well, I've tried that, and
it doesn't work.

I've also tried making stubs links for the shell itself, but this doesn't
work either. The people at WS are trying to figure out my problem, but
I thought maybe someone out there has had better luck with it.

Thanks for any tips or help.
