|
---|
| 75 | library calls - then yes, Mondo should support it. If not, well,
|

| 76 | you need a refund. :) Mondo plays nicely with any sane, sensible
|
---|
| 77 | drives. That's most of them, by the way. :) If your drive doesn't
|
---|
| 78 | play nicely with Mondo then you may try tinkering with setblksize
|
---|
| 79 | and defblksize using 'mt', or tweaking Mondo's block size by
|
---|
| 80 | recompiling it with make INTTAPE=4096 or INTTAPE=8192 or something.
|

| 81 | Other than that, you need a priest or a refund.</para>
