Hi,

I have P-120 with NCR PCI (<ncr 53c810> and <ncr 53c815>) SCSI and
DEC TZ87 TapeDriver. When I try "tar" or "dd" on the tape an error

st0(ncr1:1:0): Deferred Error: RECOVERED ERROR asc:a,0 Error log overflow

signals after approx. 100-300 MB transferred. "tar" and "dd" signals
"/dev/rst0 Input/Output error".
I know SCSI controller and the tape works correctly - I use them
under MS Windows NT with MS Backup (over 8 GB wrotes with validation
without any error).

Can I use this tape under FreeBSD ?

PS OS : FreeBSD 2.2-960801-SNAP
