Further examination of the tape I have reveals a possible explanation for my inability to read it - it appears that the tape itself is damaged very near the beginning, most likely from having been left loaded in a drive for the last ten years or so. Digging through things here, I did find one other tape. It works in the drive, so at least the drive is working properly. So, that brings me to my next question - anyone have some extra QIC 600/6150 tapes laying around? I need some to make boot media. -Ian
