A friend of mine gave me several qic-40 tapes that are the
same type as my qic-80 tapes, just formatted in qic-40.
Does anyone know how to reformat qic-40 tapes to qic-80
on a qic-80 drive? The error message I'm getting right
now is, "Read only File system."

Check out the Ftape-HOWTO.
As I seem to remember, it says that tapes in general cannot be
formatted under Linux because noone has written a tape formatting
util. You could always use a DOS util to do it.
