You can manipulate the size and density parameters so that dump computes
the correct capacity for the device you are using. Don't be surprised
if the capacity that dump gets for a set of these values is not what
you compute. The values of the size and density are used only
to compute the capacity of the device, based on an assumption that it
is a 9-track tape.
