- you are not the only one that has found this bug. You have to unload
- the tape before you can run a second tape command. This is fine
- unless you want to rewind and check the tape in the middle of the
- night (what we do to verify). I have compression turned on.
- BTW: They stilll do not have the HIGHDEN bit in the drivers
- working! No way to turn compression on/off via the drivers..

- I have contacted someone in Tech Support @ SCO, but they have not
- gotten back to me yet. I have a feeling I was dropped in the bucket.
