Hi,
I've connected an HP Colorado 5GB parallel port tape drive to a Linux
box and it's getting DSC timeout's after writing to the tape for a few
minutes. Is this a known problem? The drive works from a laptop
running Widows 95 and HP's own backup software.
I'm running Linux 2.1.106 and tried two different machines so I don't
think it's a broken parallel port. I'm writing with gnu tar using its
default buffering.
Here's the extracts from syslog that show the problem:-
