Hello, I been trying for a long while now to get me parellel port ditto max to work. I just got a new parellel port card thinking it was a incompatibility problem with my onboard port, but still have the same problem. Ok, I am runing the 6/30/99(i think) version of ftape (the bata the will install in the newer kernels). I am also runing Redhat 6.0. It seems to backup ok, the take runs with no errors with about 8-9mb/min. BUT, when I go to verify it starts out at an ok speed, but slowly slows down, at about an hour into the verify, it is down to about 2.5mb/min. At this time, about an hour into the verify I get this error: "input/output error while reading from tape" "retry abort" Any one else have this problem ? Any one know what I might be doing wring ? Any one get the parellel ditto max to work at all ? If so please tell me, and alot of other people that can't get this tape drive to work, what setup you are useing (kernel,ftape version; parellel port type, etc) ? Thanks for any help, Jim,
