The problem I'm about to describe involves the 40Mb internal in a MacII
and the Apple Tape Backup 40SC.  A recent drive failure has meant replacing
the internal disk2 with a disk3,
but now the Apple Tape Backup cannot recover from any tapes
created with "volume save" from the past six months.  Disk3 can backup
and recover a newly created tape.  The only old tape that is recoverable
is one created over six months ago just before another 40Mb, disk1, failure.
The suspicion is that the 40Mb disks are not exactly the same, although
the Apple part number would indicate they are.  Disk3 is known to be a Sony.
The tapes of recent vintage are the ones we need to recover to disk,
not the 6 month old tape.  

Any ideas or suggestions?
