I'm assuming that the code 000 is the audio tape code; that's what my
audio tapes have.  The 60m tape I have is also about 5 years old, and
may not have the correct coding.  But that's only part of the problem:
both these tapes work perfectly on the same hardware with BSD/386, so
if it needs to be disabled, BSD/386 knows how to do it.  I'll have a
look through the code.  Do we have any SCSI bus trace facility?
