- Subject: OD & tar problem
- Lines: 23
-
- 1. Has anybody had problems ejecting optical disks? I have a 030 Cube
- with an internal OD drive running under NeXTStep 3.0, which can read
- and write the optical disk, but cannot eject it. Neither by pulling
- the OD into the recycler, nor by using 'eject' in the Workspace menu
- (appears inactive). Once I logout, the OD ejects immediately. I never
- had that problem under NeXTStep 2.1!
-
- 2. Is there a way to read a tar file that was recorded on DAT drive
- attached to a Sun running Solaris 3.0, on the NeXT? I hooked up the
- SCSI DAT from the Sun to the NeXT and used the '/dev/rst0' driver to
- access the DAT. This works fine, but when I want to list the contents
- in the archive using 'tar tvf /dev/rst0' it causes a 'tar I/O error'.
- I have no problems extracting the files from the archive on an IRIS
- Indigo. What am I doing wrong? Is there a fix?
-
- Thanks, Jochen.
