[net.bugs.4bsd] MagTape Dump Routine: tsdump

pete@ecrcvax.UUCP (Pete Delaney) (05/08/85)

	We are trying to hack the ts.c mag-driver dump function
	so that printf()'s can be directed to the tape instead
	of the console.  We modified lowcore.s to set things up
	like doadump() does for a disk dump and added a few printf()'s
	to tsdump() to watch it's behaviour.  It seems to get a physical
	address in the UBA I/O space but the tape doesn't move.  We
	will add some stuff to print the status registers but thought
	it prudent to both read the manual and ask you guys (and girls)
	if you have any suggestions or even better a version of tsdump()
	that works.  

	Hope to hear soon, and thanks for your help.  The cpio, vt220,
	and sccs responses were really great.  Thanks.
