- Hi all you hardware & device driver gurus !
-
- Since rencently our 3/50 has serious problems writing to the
- tape cartridge. I repeatedly get error messages saying
-
- 'si0: illegal odd byte DMA, address= 0x1030f'
-
- with varying address values. I once or twice also got a message
-
- 'st0: stwrite: not modulo 512 block size'
-
- when i was sure to write in 512 byte chunks.
-
- Can anybody explain what it is ? The ESDI Controller ? The
- tape drive ? The SCSI adapter on the 3/50 main board ??
-
- Greetings
-
- Klaus
