Keywords: com serial error 386bsd bsd Message-ID: <84358@ut-emx.uucp> Date: 26 Nov 92 03:03:29 GMT Sender: news@ut-emx.uucp Organization: The University of Texas at Austin, Austin TX Lines: 22 I guess the title says it all, I get this error whenever I download using rz/sz, and I got it while online (reading a short text file) I'm running a 2400/v.42 modem (with MNP-5) to a Trailblazer, so compression -is- on (I think). No special UARTS, I just open /dev/com1 at 9600 baud and use the rts/cts handshaking - perhaps I don't have that set, could that be the error? Also, how do I set up a SCSI tape to work? I have a tandberg tdc3800 on SCSI ID 1 (LUN 0) and when I read or write to /dev/as1a, it gives me a few errors, although I was successful in reading a tar file written under MS-DOS's port of gnutar. The errors are: as: scsi controller error 0x12 writing fsblk xxxx-yyyy SCSI sense: 00 00 00 .. 00 I'm using an adaptec-1542b. Tnx. -- Protect our endangered bandwidth - reply by email. NO BIG SIGS!
