- Just to answer my own question, I did finally get GTAK 2.01 to work on my
- system.
-
- The weird part is that my tape drive has to be not only powered up, but
- a tape must be inserted and the ready light must be on, or I get
- an 'EXECPTION IN AHA154x' trap. This wouldn't be much of a problem,
- but my tape drive, an Exabyte, take a long time to get 'ready'. I extended
- the time in Boot Manager to 30 seconds, and this gives the drive enough
- time to start up.
-
- Is there source code for SCSITAPE.DMD out there? I'd like to debug it
- to see why it's generating an exception if my drive isn't ready...
