- We have an HP 35480A DAT drive that we have hooked up to a 4D/35 running
- 4.0.5. I can read my own tapes fine, but not tapes made on an HP 9000/700.
- With those, tar gives "premature end of file" and dd gives ") records".
- I note that the hinv command gives the drive type as "unknown", and thus
- suspect part of the problem is that the software does not recognize the
- drive as a DAT drive. Any ideas?

- thanks,
