I'll try to get the super-dump to a tape file, it keeps rejecting the tape drive designation. Do I need to initialize it somehow other than the hercules devint command?
Yes, dump tapes must be labeled tapes with a volume name starting with DUMP. You can label the tape using MTS or some other operating system or you can use the lbltp command line program. See . It should work in most Unix-like systems or in Windows.

PS: I tried to send this earlier but it didn't seem to get sent. Sorry if you get two copies.
