Tape is fine I was using it in work in DDS2 tape drive. I have some problem with brand new tapes (DDS2 and DDS3) Serials are not problem. I have turned them off temporarily. Today I will try to read tape recorded on my machine im my work. Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: > How do you know it's actually writing?
