Yes I saw that. That doesn't mean they aren't treated differently though,
sa0=nsa0=esa0=nrsa0 etc etc etc, but the name used dictates the
functionality.
Playing with this a bit more today and it appears that I may have simply hit
a couple of bad tapes by coincidence. I'll poke at it some more. Some of
these tapes were last used on a 2.2.8 system, perhaps that is a factor
though one would hope not.
Thanks for the response. Coincidence might be the likely culprit.
