FYI: IBM 7208 model 342 tape drive / Mammoth tape drives

["Mark A. Manske" <mmanske@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No matter what the sales/techy people tell you;

They are NOT compatible; send a tape off to a fellow that has one to make
sure that the tape was not damaged, he did a rstlib, savlib on the 7208 with
no problems, got it back here, the mammoth tape drive think ALL objects are
damaged; this is not a tape issue either (used their only "authorized" tape
of an exabyte brand)    Even though we have a dual drive, an offline copy
gave us the same results, damaged objects.

Just an FYI/buyer beware to everyone
