Hello! I've got two 2 Gig 8mm drives, both on DECstation 5000s. Can anybody tell me why I might be having problems reading a tape (or tapes, using "tar") on one of the Decs that was written on the other? The tape(s) I can't read _can_ be read on other Sun and Dec workstations so I know the tapes are OK. I am aware that the only 8mm tape manufacturer is Exabyte. Are there known compatibility problems encountered due to vendor modifications to drives or drivers (i.e. ADS, Falcon, Mountain)? If its not a problem please respond to djgray@rodan.acs.syr.edu. Thank You! Dave Gray
