Ciao,

we have some TZ87 (DLT 2000) attached to our DEC Alpha systems.

I want to know from the device itself, how much blocks have
already been physically written to tape or how many space is
left on tape. This is especially interesting when compression
is used.

Does anybody know what SCSI command is necessary to get
this information out of the DLT. The Digital documentation
is very poor and does not say anything about SCSI commands
supported.

Any help (and example) is welcome,

Thanx and cheers, Wolfgang.
