However, a `tar tvM' produced a lot of Feb 2 15:36:55 ghost /kernel: st0(ncr0:2:0): extraneous data discarded. Feb 2 15:36:55 ghost /kernel: st0(ncr0:2:0): COMMAND FAILED (9 80) @f2250a00. and tar aborted with several tar: read error on /dev/rst0 : Input/output error at the time when the end of the tape was reached instead of requesting the next tape. (Last time I used it successfully on an ISA board, with the tape on an AHA-1542B under 2.1.5-R.) Using tar on floppies worked o.k. I'm not sure, whether it's a bug in the SCSI- or the tape-driver, but the behaviour is definitely different to 2.1.5-R with the old board, where it worked flawlessly.
