With the beta version of AS225, I used to backup my Amiga from my HP workstation using: #!/bin/sh remsh amiga copy dh1:utility/tar/tar ram: remsh amiga tar cf - dh0: dh1: dh2: dh3: | tcio -o -S 8 /dev/ctape1 This would create a tar file on QIC tape, with the tape drive connected to the HP. Worked great for about a year. I recently installed the release version of the AS225 software, and it no longer works. I can copy the tar program to RAM:, but it hangs trying to execute tar. After it hangs, if I make another connection to the Amiga's remshd, it gurus. Any ideas? Is it possible to file a bug report? -- Jim Wright jwright@cfht.hawaii.edu Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Corp.

I haven't tried anything like that myself, since I have Wangtek SCSI tapes (150MB) on my systems. I normally use the stuff to send things to/from the Amoeba to Unix beasts. I use the tapes for local backup. Ah, well. .--------------------------------------------------------------------------. |[- O] Rick Stevens | | ?

This I did, and got a prompt reply that the "squawk" had been received. No word on work-arounds or fixes though. Through email, I've learned of and confirmed a number of bugs in the AS225. -- Jim Wright jwright@cfht.hawaii.edu Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Corp.
