- I got a 27C512-15 ROM yesterday and burned the 6.10 image. It seems to
- work fine, however, it did not solve my problem with my Archive 150 tape
- drive. The drive still locks up when reading or verifying a tape. It has
- done this with all backup software I tried on my Amiga. The drive works fine
- on my PC. (It is an external one). The Oktagon appears to work fine with the
- Maxtor 7245SR and the NEC CDR84J CDROM drive. The CDROM drive is in the same
- case as the tape drive. The Maxtor is mounted on the card. I am still
- looking at the termination to see if it's correct but I think I tried it with
- and without the resister packs on board to no avail.
-
- Has the 2008 been tested with an Archive 150 by anybody?

- I like it except for the problem I am having with the Archive tape drive.
- Also I'd like to see a driver for Amiga Linux. Care to send the programmers
- docs to me? ;)
