Solaris 2.2 and DAT drives

I had been experiencing problems with the DAT drive which SUN had

supplied for our SparcClassic. The DAT drive is a Python 4352XP system

and I had numerous response to resolve my problem.

The first solution was to modify /etc/system to include the following

set st:st_report_soft_errors_on_close=0

this worked first time and I didn't experince any funny problems after

this statement was included.

I was also advised to include patch 101054-03 which ironed out a few

bugs. I installed this and to date I have not experienced any problems.

Thanks to all who responded but in particular:-

mh@bacsun.co &whm@wiau.mb.man.ac.uk

regards, Ian
