Hi,

OK, this is a bit out of topic, but I really don't know where to ask.

I have a SLR 100 tape drive (SCSI interface) and a tape cartridge with
4 files (not an Amanad tape, just plain tar).

The first file is damaged so I cannot mt fsf over that file to read
the others.

Is there a secret way to to advance the tape by a certain number of
meters, or by a certain number of seconds or something. I know I would
end up at a random position in the middle of a file, but at least I
could fast forward over the damaged file.

Best regards,

Olivier
