After cleaning, same problem. Now, when I try to copy data off the tape
using "COPY MUA0 NEWS.TAR", VMS gives me these errors:
%COPY-E-READERR, error reading _MUA0:[].;
-RMS-F-RER, file read error
-SYSTEM-W-DATAOVER, data overrun
%COPY-W-NOTCMPLT, _MUA0:[].; not completely copied
when I use dump, like "DUMP MUA0 /OUT=NEWS.DMP", it works just perfectly
fine, which leads me to believe it might be a VMS problem. Prior to now,
I was able to copy straight from the foreign mounted volume OK, but now
it's not working at all, even after I power-cycled the drive and the vax.
Help?

QT13 QBUS->PERTEC adaptor under VMS... It *appears* to read the tapes OK
(I have no VMS formatted tapes, so I'm just guessing here), but when I try
and INITIALIZE MUA0:, the drive spins the tape for a second and then gives
me a "CC7" on its display and "Mach Chk" flashes. VMS calls it a
'parity
error'. Anyone know what is going on with this thing?
How about cleaning? Does this have a full self test program?
When I first took my TU81PLUS in operation I had to make 3
runs of good scrubbing with alcohol before it would want to
write a tape successfully. Also, it didn't work with every
tape.
