Hi,

I'm aware of the MS driver issue when using DLT7K drives. Soft clean
errors are incorrectly intepreted and Networker responds by first posting
multiple cleaning messages and then disabling the drive until cleaned
notices. Now for the strange bit....according to MSKB article 319313, the
solution is to upgrade to driver version 5.0.2195.5509 of dlttape.sys.
This patch has been applied but the problem still persists. Added to this,
I've tested the drive using Backup Exec 9 (which provides its own driver)
and the tape drive works without any problems.

??????
