Hi,

> Has anyone encountered this with IBM drives or 4MM tapes?

We've been having a lot of trouble with 4mm-Tape-Drives of Wang (WangDAT
Model 3200 FW 02.2). Actually these drives aren't either used under ADSM nor
AIX, it's a SINIX with a normal cpio. Our problem is, that the tapes are
often physically damaged. Since the MAXELL 90m tapes were replaced against
60m tapes of SONY it seems to be a little better put the problem still
exists.
