- It doesn't work here under OS/2 2.0 with my Adaptec AHA1740 (latest
- microcode & .add drivers) and my Archive 2150S. It can do TAPE ERASE, MARK, and
- all those functions of TAPEP.EXE, but GTARP.EXE just hangs when it starts to
- copy files to the tape drive.

- How are you invoking it? I have been very successful using it, though I have
- a 1542B rather than a 1740. I did have to get the June 19th version of
- aspitape. Gnu stuff expects forward slashes vice back slashes, and you
- do need a space before the - if you are using std in. Finally, did you
- rewind the tape before trying?
-
- Good luck,
