Using CLEAR *NO would leave data on the tape wouldn't it?  We want an
empty tape each night to back up on.

Subject: Ultrium 4 Tape Initialization

Anyone know how long it takes an Ultruim 4 tape to initialize?  
On a new 8203 with the built in tape drive (type 5746).  I've been
sitting here for almost
2 hours and it still initializing.  Maybe I'm just too impatient...
