: Eric M. Gordon propounded (on Thu, Dec 14, 2000 at 02:31:13AM +0000):
: | I have installed an HP Travan tape drive into an SCO 5.0.5 system.  It keeps
: | erroring out during a tar or during the Verify phase of Microlite Edge.

: And the erros are ?

: | I've tried replacing the drive and changing tapes but the effect is
: | generally the same.

: Generally?: When are they the same (and what are they in that case)
: and when are they NOT the same (and then what are they) ?

: | Has anyone gotten one of these to work successfully?  Are there any SCO
: | Patches that are needed.  I believe I've installed the latest patches.

: Upon what do you base your belief?

His drive is ATAPI/IDE.














We've recommended that he patch the Stp driver with the Driver.a that
properly separates read errors from EOM errors.



We've also recommended that he install the latest "wd" driver
from: ftp://stage.caldera.com/pub/drivers/OSR505/btld/



The only other thought I have that we haven't mentioned is that
he check the HP web site for firmware upgrades to his drive.


M3IP inc.



 o The firmware version for the HP SureStore T20e, T20Xe,
   T20i, T20Xi  Travans is 3.01.
 o For the HP Colorado 14GB it is 4.01.
 o For the HP Colorado  8GB it is 2.08.
 o For the HP Colorado  5GB it is 2.08.



There are no firmware updates posted for the HP Colorado 20GB.



http://www.hp.com/cposupport/nonjsnav/hptapeback19100.html
is the jump off point for HP firmware updates.









That pretty much covers our ideas, unless he has a bad batch of media,
or needs to clean the drive more frequently. Any other thoughts/ideas
out there?
