- Help! We just got a 5 gig 8mm tape drive for our 4D/35s (yes, from SGI),
- and I can't get it to work. I try to dump filesystems (using the regular 8mm
- switches; length 6000 density 54000 I think), but it dies with a write error
- 1 foot into the dump. I don't have a manual because our wonderful prime
- contractor decided to nab it.
