[Simh] Running a BACKUP job on TOPS-10

I have been trying to run a BACKUP job but I can't seem to
get the commands right to get the tape mounted. I keep getting
the message ?BKPCOM Can't open MAG tape when I issue the TAPE
command.

I think it has something to do with the ALLOCATE or MOUNT, but MOUNT
queues and never quits. It appears that MOUNT doesn't know that a tape
has been attached.

If someone has done this before could they give me a sequence of SIMH and
TOPS-10 commands to get the tape recognized?

Thanks.
