Re: Travan TR-3 tape drive woes



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----


AFAIK the taper in slink has been segfaulting on quite a few people. I
THINK the taper from potato will work without problems under slink, but
I'm not sure. I know that taper WAS working for me around march of this
year.

BTW, I was using taper to write LS-120 disks and syquest carts. Haven't
used floppy tapes for years now, and taper's likely updated in potato
since I used it, so YMMV.
But I'm pretty sure it's an issue with the taper you're using.
