Deitch & Associates, San Diego, CA. Date: Tue, 8 Dec 1992 13:35:42 GMT Lines: 27 I have a VAX 8250 that is showing some weird errors. The hardware is: 8250 cpu TU81 hanging off a DWBA RA81 and RA60 hanging off a KDB. 4.3bsd Tahoe release The drives are on the BI bus, not the unibus. Here is the problem: When trying to access the tape drive, either reading or writing a tape, after a variable amount of time, the machine will crash with a machine check 10. According to DEC, a machine check above 6 is reserved. Can anyone tell me if the TMSCP driver under 4.3bsd Tahoe is broken or is there something else I should be looking at? If anyone else has had a similar problem, please let me know. I have been pulling my hair out over this one. Thanks, Jim P.S.
