Today's BSD Lesson:
There is a big difference between:
dump 0dsf 11200 1000 /dev/rwd0d /usr/src
and
dump 0dsf 11200 1000 /dev/rwt0d /usr/src
Thankfully, DOS was the first 100 Meg on my hard drive.
Unfortunately, it had all of the course syllabi for the courses I
teach, and the new one for the class starting Monday wasn't on the
backup tape from Friday.
So remember:
When doing backups, use TAPE not your whole hard drive.
P.S. I got the wt0 driver working with the Archive tape drive and
controller I was asking about last week. I have found that the port
address of 330-33f seems to be free for that, and the Adaptec likes
being at that address. If anyone has the book on the Wangtek PC-36
controller and can tell me how to set the switches on that to use port
address 330, I'd appreciate it. Using DC-6250 tapes, I am able to get
about 105Meg on tape using the density and length settings in the
examples above.
P.P.S. Anyone with a QIC-02 controller that wants to swap war stories
should drop me a line here. I have a real enigma of a QIC-02 board and
would like more info. Specifically, how can 8 jumpers attached to
address lines 4-7 do anything neat (like Work?)???
