- Several people have replied, but all seemed to have missed the point, we can
- read ANY bits off the tape... In fact we can even get it to set the ' volume
- valid ' bit to mount it.
-
- So, is it possible to set a TMSCP equivalent of the disk ' allow self destruct'
- unit online comand? or some such. Is there any way to force the drive to keep
- going in spite of 'fatal' errors?
