The HP drive I mentioned is indeed a Travan (TR-4) drive, and so I
think is your Conner, but I would be surprised if Conner were selling
actual HP drives!

I don't have the sources to hand, but I believe the only other error
message was caused by the driver trying to lock the tape in drive,
which isn't supported by the T4000s.  This shouldn't have been reported
as an error anyway, and is probably fixed now.

Does anything work (even if gives errors)?  "mt rew" for example?
