I have a parallel port Micro Solutions Backpack tape drive and would
like to figure out how to use it in a DOS session.  I have tried
twice to format a tape, and both times the tape software reported
a timeout error.

Are there DOS session parameters I can adjust to give it the time
it needs?

Thanks.
