This leads to only a couple of possible conclusions:
1) you have a hard disk and the tape drive with the same SCSI ID
the disk answered the INQUIRY command, the tape is confused because
it keeps getting disk type commands.
2) Someone has told the tape drive it is a disk because they were
originally
trying to whack the code pages of an RZ24L to make it talk 512
byte (vs 576)
byte sectors but they got their SCSI IDs (or bus ids) wrong and
rewrote the
code page of the tape drive instead.
Weird in either case!
