I am not sure this will help you, but I have a Adaptec 1542 and a Sony DAT. FreeBSD 2.x is a lot more picky about DAT use than FreeBSD 1.x, namely it does not like extremely large blocksizes. The problems I had were in reading a tape with dd or restore that was created with large blocksizes causes the system to panic. tar is a little more stable. try: /sbin/dump 0usdf 3940 61000 /dev/nrst0 /dev/rsd0a --mark.
