Further investigation of problems related to 16MB and Archive 525MB tape on Xenix installations reveals the following:

The 16MB patch detailed in IPB 3061 IS required for 16MB machines, the core dumping error is more difficult to create but it will still occur without the patch.

The Archive patch XNX316 (or APR316) should only be applied when the 525MB tape unit has exhibited failures or hangs. Apricot has found some earlier revision Archive units can be adversely affected by the installation of the patch. Further details will be made available as soon as they are available.
