&nbsp; &nbsp;Hello Kellyjj,<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;/dev/rct0 is the default device name. Sometimes the default name is not linked properly. Try tar /dev/rStp0<br />
and see if you get a response. Press the delete key to stop a tapedrive in process. This is not a definitive answer , because there are many factors. I'm not familiar with Tandberg slr6; is it a scsi ? Also try /dev/urStp0 and <br />
/dev/nurStp0 as your arguments.<br />

Here is the problem, &nbsp;I am trying to install a tandberg slr6. &nbsp;I used mkdev tape. &nbsp;Everything went fine. &nbsp;Installed correctly, kernal was rebuilt and system rebooted.<br />
<br />
The tape drive is seen on boot up. &nbsp;Unix thinks it is there. The ids,etc... match up.<br />
<br />
Yet, when I try a tar cv8 or tar cvf /dev/rct0 &nbsp;I get the above error.<br />
<br />
I have tried changing the buffer size as sco recommended. &nbsp;I am lost, and don't know what to try.<br />

Thanks

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
