[H-GEN] DAT Tape errors

(Note reply-to: being general at humbug.org.au vs Michael Anthon <mca at tams.com.au>)

It's a SONY DDS2 tape drive..

Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 06 Lun: 00
  Vendor: SONY     Model: SDT-5000         Rev: 3.30
  Type:   Sequential-Access                ANSI SCSI revision: 02

Oh, cool, I love Linux!!  I spoke to the tape provider, it's written on a
Unisys box apparently but the guy I spoke to didn't seem to know much about
it technically.

I thought of testing it with a blank tape also, but unfortunately I don't
own a blank tape.....

Cheers
