Steve, my HELPFILE shows DEN 38K as a valid Option-D, but also shows XF
as valid, too. I'm trying to write an XF tape, not a 38K.

Subject: Tape Modeset for 3480 XF
Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I'm trying to write to a 3480
cart using TAPE MODESET (XF. The TAPE QUERY command confirms that the
drive is capable of writing mode XF. But whatever I do, the data is
apparently being written as 38k bpi, according to both the UofK TAPEMAP
and Rich Greenberg's TAPINFO Modules.
I've tried issuing TAPE MODESET (XF, writing a VOL1 hdr with the (XF
option, issuing a MODESET then doing a TAPE DUMP (XF w/o a label, but
in each case the utils report that my density is 38k, not XF.
The carts I'm using are Imation Royal Guard 210MB. Are these not
capable of the higher density? I thought this was a function of the
drives, not the media.
What am I missing here?
