My DDS drive can't write even with native tools anymore. I'm getting CRC errors when trying to write more than one block, rewind after write or when trying to erase the tape. It's very annoying since the drive seems to seek the tape randomly for a good minute before the CRC error is reported. Cleaning the drive or trying various, also fresh tapes didn't help either. This will stop me working on the tape handling in Cygwin until I got a new tape from somewhere :-( Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Developer mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Red Hat, Inc. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
