Yes, I have verified that the termination is correctly installed and working. At this point, it seems "dump" works, but "restore" does not work in 3.0-CURRENT and I have been unable to resolve or fix the problem. Does anyone have any clues or suggestions that they could make to resolve the tape drive problems I'm having? Thanks!
