Tested and seems to work fine on a HP C1533 DDS-2 drive. A mysterious filesystem corruption of /var happened the day after I did a two-tape dump, and the fixed tape driver was a godsend! I would have reported back last night, but some moron driving a backhoe dealt a 22-hour fatal blow to Time Warner/Roadrunner locally, and it all was restored about half an hour ago... Thanks Matt!
