Have a problem with a Xylogics 772 tape controller. We aquired the controller just over a year ago, and apart from the lack of support for the mt commands (I hacked those in, inelegant but effective) it has generally been OK running with a CDC Keystone 6250 bpi drive. Now, our file systems have grown to the point where a level 0 dump exceeds the capacity of a single tape, and the 772 driver ignores the EOT. So, to save me from spending N hours figuring out how to fix the problem, has anyone out there already done it? BTW this is running on a 3/280 under 3.4 --Jim
