Sorry for the confusion about xvscan, It is a really good product and it did refuse to write to the tape, I got a dialogue box identifying the SCSI generic device it is linked to as a 'WangDAT 3100' and saying that xvscan would not write to it.... This is of course impossible as the kernel didn't manage to identify the device as a WangDAT and it's not covered by SCSI generic anyway!!!!
