HP's DAT on SCO-Unix

[Wim Berkhof]

We installed a Hewlett Packard DAT drive on a HP486 running SCO Unix. On this
machine we are trying to read tapes created with the same type of drive from
a HP9000/3xx machine running HP-UX.

When reading tapes errors and warnings are displayed:


	Warning: Stp: possible SCSI error 

	Warning: Unit attention: Possible media change -
					you may need to repeat command


This with when reading tapes with either dd, tar or cpio. If read with 'dd'
some data is extracted but not correctly, e.g. a tar extraction replies:

	tar: directory checksum error


Is there anyone out there who got this working ??
