Mountain DAT Filesave 1200 used to backup Netware 3.12 server.
Recently backup has often failed wit 'iocntl' error. The drive runs
out several inches of tape which becomes tangled in the mechanism,
destroying the tape.

I've used a cleaning cassette, taken the covers off the drive and
cleaned the optics and mechanism with an airjet can. Everthing looks
clean and I can't see anything loose or obviously out of place.

Thanks for any ideas on what to do next, now that Mountain no longer
exist.

Gerry
