Confirmed.

promise:~/crap# uname -a
Linux promise 2.4.0-test10 #4 Mon Oct 30 17:16:16 EST 2000 i686 unknown

And i think my clock chip is drifting, it's actually the 6th of November. =)

Anyways...... Spent 15 minutes trying to figure out why it couldn't read the
tape, and kept giving me the errors. Then i remembered the whole point of
this bug-report WAS about it not reading tapes. It's Monday morning, but my
brain is still out there in the wild blue yonder. :)

I'm interested in why the HP drive won't read tapes, but if i swap in my
Seagate, it reads them just fine. Well, aside from media errors. Seems HP
can't build a tape drive OR tape media that is reliable =)
