Hello once again.

I've got an HP 4mm DAT drive always giving I/O errors. I'm still looking
for the specifics on the drive but I am unable to vdump or use Network
Save and Restore and therefore unable to backup the system. This is a
big problem that needs a quick fix.

Is there a known problem with these drives, I remember reading somthing
about this on a newsgroup awhile back. The drive was orginally on a vax
and had no problems. Should the drive be serviced or replaced?

Other info:
DEC 3000/300LX OSF/1 3.0B Firmware 5.2
HP 4mm DAT TZ?

Any suggestions, directions, or comments are always greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Greg
