This is the output I get. Not sure how to decipher it: z8:/home/kurtl/tmp# mt -f /dev/st0 status SCSI 2 tape drive: File number=0, block number=0, partition=0. Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x25 (DDS-3). Soft error count since last status=0 General status bits on (41010000): BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN Regarding the card/drive/kernel/etc, it's an HP Surestore DAT 24 internal drive connected to an adaptec 2940UW SCSI card on a computer running Woody w/ 2.4.12 kernel with SCSI support compiled as a module. Still beating my head against the wall trying to figure this out, so any help is certainly appreciated. --kurt
