} Verify tape and initialize maps
} read: I/O error
}
} Tape read error:
} mips [2]#
}
} And on the console of boggs, I get the following errors:
}
} st1: Error for comand 'read'. Error Level: 'Fatal'
} st1: Error for comand 'read'. Error Level: 'Fatal'
} Block: 0 File Numer: 0
} Sense Key: No Additional Sense
} Incorrect Length Indicator Set
The problem had to do with the blocking factor, If I ommited the blocking
and left it to the MIPS default (64) it worked fine..
