        I have a 3000UX with an A3070 tape drive. could someone
tell me how make use of my tape drive under AmigaDos.  Is it
simply a matter of putting an entry in the mount list?  if so,
what should I put in it.

        My flat mate also has an A1000 and we're trying to run
Parnet to network the two machine.  We've made two cables
one about 10 inches the other about 15 metres. The short one
works fine but the long one just won't go. I've checked the
cable a thousand times. I can't see whats wrong.

        I've also got an old Epson MX100 III printer and I've
found that my parallel port is not capable of driving the
centronics port on the printer.

        Is this all due to just the poor drive of the 8520 CIA
chips or what?

Could someone please suggest what the problem is.


thanks
