-
- How do you know if you have phase errors?
-
- The problems I have are that I get unrecoverable tape errors and bad
- blocks etc. When reading the tape, it usually reads between 4 and 13
- megabytes, and then the SCSI buss locks up. Thinking the tapes are bad,
- I try them on my PC and they work fine. I am using GNUtar and Quarterback
- for the backup software on my Amiga.
-
- Since I made a 6.10 ROM for the Oktagon, Quarterback won't run, but GNUtar
- and, Maxtor HD and the CDROM drive, work as before.
