I'm using Conner's 4GByte (with compression) SCSI minicartridge tape
drive with Arcada Backup Exec v5.01, under Windows NT 3.51 SP3.

Occasionally, a tape backup operation will "hang" Arcada and I have to
kill the process.  Thereafter, I cannot append save sets to the tape,
I get reports of I/O errors from Arcada.

This is very irritating.  It means that I'm not, on average, getting
full capacity from these tapes.  It is *not possible* to format these
tapes!

Has anyone else seen this problem with this drive?  Solutions?
