It works pretty well. I'm using the DTape handler and GNU tar to back
stuff up until Quarterback 5.0 comes out. I hope that program supports
backing up to the 3070 with a GVP card….
Anyway, the only error I've gotten is pretty consistant. Anytime I do
anything with the tape it returns a bad status code, and then goes on to do
it's thing. I haven't had a problem getting things off the tape, and my
investigation of the problem really hasn't turned up a reasonable
explanation for what the problem is. I really don't like the fact that it
gives that command, but it works so far…..I'll be happier when that new
software comes out. Meanwhile, I'm using my Syquest as an added backup
device.
