SCO XENIX and an external ARCHIVE VP 150e

We run SCO XENIX 2.3.2 on a 33mhz 80386 based machine. Our tape backup
is a 150 meg archive VP 150e. One thing that I'd like to point out is
if we put a 250meg tape in (3M DC6250), it will go ahead and backup
the full 250 meg to the tape... I guess the drive just backs up until the
tape runs out. This is nice.
Now for the weirdness: If I take out a tape, and put it back in,
the first time I try to access the drive, i.e. "tar -tvbf 20 /dev/rct0",
I get the error message cannot access /dev/rct0. If I type that same
command again, it works. It's only after I put in a tape that I get
the error, but then it works after making a second attempt. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Perry Minyard
