- This problem was documented in one of the SCO IT scripts on sosco.
- It appears that the Archive units are shipped using 24k buffer (not
- documented anywhere). You have to change CF0 CF1 jumpers to:
- CF0 CF2 and then all appears to work fine.
- Did a backup last night and got about 8.5mb/minute, so it must
- be working ok now.

- Thanks for all those that e-mailed or posted information.
- Another one bites the dust.
