Some way to copy something directly, perhaps? cpio, maybe?

Use `dump -a' instead (but beware, EOF > detection is currently broken, there's an open PR for this). Other folks recommended this strategy. I will try this one in the morning. Thank you all for your help. Also, Joerg, since you seem to know the particular device, I have one last question: The docs indicate that I can jump the 51000HT to be either SCSI-1 or SCSI-2 and yet the jumper maps show no such jumper. Currently, I'm SCSI 1. Do you know how to set this? = allan
