Hi,

I'm running 4.9-STABLE on a box with an older HP 35480A DDS tape
drive.  Recently the drive started spitting out any tape I insert.
It simply will not accept any tape I load.  I've tried 5 different
tapes and it does the same thing.  Loads, lights blink for a second
or two, and the tape is spit back out.

Is this thing dead?  Given its age and limited storage capacity, I
would imagine that repair is not a cost-effective option.

Regards,
Doug
