Dunno if any of you recall, but I found a nifty way of duping tape data
under AOS/VS II on MV hardware last year.
Something like:
"Type/nodisplay _at_mtb0 filename"
The purpose is to binary duplicate the info on the tape to a file on hard
disk indiscriminately in order to reverse the process and produce a copy
of the tape ( I have only one 9 track drive ).
My problem is that the system insists on displaying every displayable byte
to the host terminal and beeping at the non-displayable bytes. I'd like
this not to happen but can't remember the secret, undocumented syntax for
this command.
Help/v type does not give me the info. Neither do any of the other
manuals I have. Does anyone have a fix for me? I can't dup a 20mb 9
track that beeps all night long and in which destination I have no
confidence.
I ran across the correct syntax/commands some months ago and just can't
remember what I'm supposed to enter to get this result. S_at_!T.
Your help is very much appreciated,
Jeff
