(i would have thought this would have been fixed by now (ahem!)). you may need to yank the dds-3 and replace it with an older tape drive -- just long enough to do the update. once you're past that hurdle, put your dds-3 back in and finish watching your tapes spin. (of course, you can't really do that anymore :-) - d -- Donna Garverick Sr. System Programmer 925-210-6631 [log in to unmask] >>>MY opinions, not Longs Drug Stores'<<< * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
