- I have just got a Jumbo 250 MB tape streamer. I have been trying to
- use it in a dos session under OS2 but with no much sucsess. I am able
- to back up some MB and then an error appears. (drive communication
- error, error uppdating fat on tape or something similar). I am using
- the tape software which came with the tape.
-
- When I am running the CRT check (tape crt) it tells me that there is
- electrical interference, but I got the internal version of the tapedriver
- so i can not move it, and i have turned of my monitor and the interference
- stil is there (I can heare the beep in the loudspeaker). I can not understand
- that there should be some electrical interference inside my computer which
- is affecting my tape and not my motherboard. (The interference could come
- from the powersuply, it is a ZEC 220W switch mode power suply).
- The electrical interference is there also when I am booting up DOS with a
- floppy (my entire disk is HPFS).
-
- Trying to formate a tape in a dos session under OS2 also fails after a short
- time, formating it when I am booting up DOS works all rigth (1h50m formating
- time)
-
- Is there something wrong with my tape drive (I don't think so) or do other
- people have the same probleme?
-
-
- My computer:
- TCI 486DX 33MHz (Contaqu main board, ISA)
- 20 MB ram (70ns)
- 200 MB Maxtor HD
- IDE cache controller w/1MB (I also tryed anothe one with no difference)
- 3 1/2" floppy A
- Trident 9000 (512kB)
- Norwegian GA with english CSD (I just changed the numbers in the SYSLEVEL file)
