Anyone familar enough with DAT drives to know what an extended-sense      
return of 0x20 (SSD_ILI) means?  I'm trying to read a DAT from SGI and         
the driver returns this code, printing it as `st0: 262144-byte record too big' 
on my console.  I've just been given a source license for SGI's InPerson       
video teleconferencing software (which I'd like to port) but I can't read     
the friggin' tape!  Argh! :-(

Any pointers appreciated.  I've tried every conceivable blocksize with dd
(and mt) with no luck.
