We are running 4.2bsd. Anyone has any suggestions or experience in this? I heard that the 6250 tape drive will monopolize the whole Unibus when it runs. Is it true? Has anyone tried it in the 4.2bsd system? You are welcome to send me direct mail and i will report a summary later. albert cheng Univ. of Illinois {ihnp4,pur-ee}!uiucdcs!acheng acheng.uiuc@csnet.arpa
