I have a 3/50 with a shoebox, running release 3.4 of SunOS. Since
upgrading to 3.4, I have been unable to write 1/4" tapes. Apparently this
is a known problem with 3.4 on some machines, so I strongly suspect that
nothing is wrong with my tape drive. Now, I have the 3.5 tapes, but I'm
disinclined to go through the whole dump/reload/restore cycle just for
this one problem, especially if a fix is not certain.
So, the question: is it possible to take a piece of the 3.5 system and
use it to build a 3.4 system that will work? The new st.o perhaps? Or
will this cause more trouble than it fixes?
Alternatively, is there some easy way to establish whether I have the
flavor of st that 3.4 won't drive?
