I have a DDS tape (written on an IRIX machine) with 2M blocks. Any way to read this on a NetBSD machine? My memories of SCSI ILI handling on DDS are fuzzy. I remember you can operate these tapes in fixed or variable block size mode, where some values in the CDB either mean blocks or bytes. I thought in variable mode, you could read block sizes other than the (virtual) physical block size of the tape.
