Hi,
I had a lot of problems with a tz89 tape station. It seemed that it could
not
deal with EOF correctly as Networker came out and said "expected file # 3
got 2". I also tried to put a few tar archives after each other but they
could not be read correctly.
Then I finally turned off hardware compaction (nrmt1m instead of nrmt1h) and
everything worked fine. I have tried to figure out something to read and
write
with dd that would behave differently in the two configurations but I
couldn't.
Now it works but still puzzles me.
Thanks to

Knut Hellebø (who suggested to check patches/firmware)
Bruce Senn (who suggested using -b20 explicitly as needed on DU4.0D...
didn't work)
Lawrence Philips (who asked me to check the firmware which I still havent
done)
Danny Petterson (som foreslog at fremprovokere fejlen med dd which I couldnt
and dump/vdump which I didnt)
Nancy Davies (who also suggested to try with dump/vdump or cpio)
Yours,
Lars Bro
