I have a 133MHz Pentium system with an AHA-2940, a Fast SCSI disk and an
antique Archive Viper 2150S tape drive. If I do a level 0 dump of a
filesystem from the disk to a tape, it won't stream continuously for
more than a few seconds. I've tried winding up dump's "b" parameter to
700-800 with no obvious effect. This is with NetBSD 1.2 or 1.3.

Oddly, I remember it streaming better when I had an AHA-1540B.

Anybody else solved this problem?

Cheers,
