You did use the line exactly this way?:
GVPScsiCtrl 00# DCOFF
(where # is replaced by your tape drives unit number).
The command is case sensitive and must be written into your user-startup
sequence exactly as shown. BTW, GVP says this is absolutely necessary
with Wangtek drives.
The one other thing that helped me get mine up and going was to change
(upwards) the number of buffers assigned to the tape drive. Did that in
FastPrep, and went with a value of 64, instead of the default 32.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Guess it run in the blood…got a
frame-off restored 72 TR-6 and 75 Norton Commando in the garage (which
means lots of oil spots on the floor 🙂
