I've also been having some difficulty reading from the new tapes. I've
tried on an Alpha, where I get very small, unusable files. I'm still tryin
to get a tapedrive setup on a normal VAX. I used the same software to make
my tapes as Ed used to make yours. I WAS able to read the files back from
tape using the same software I was using to create them, so I know the data
is there and usable on at least some of the tapes. Let me know what you
find out.
