   Hello,

   I am trying to read a DC6525 tape written with tar under Linux on an
   Archive Viper/Conner C2525S streamer (QIC-525, SCSI I) with a Tandberg
   TDC3800 streamer (QIC-320,SCSI II according bootmessage, SCSI I
   according manual, build for digital).

   The kernel log (Linux) says: kernel: st0: Incorrect block size.
   I tried multiple blocksizes in 512 byte steps (written on the Archive)
   but up to know I did not have success to read the tape.

   Are there any further differences between QIC-320 and QIC-525 except
   the tape length?

   Can the tape be read with the Tandberg or can the Archive Viper write
   a tape that way/format that it can be read by the Tandberg?

   Please send your answers to my email address because I am not sure if I
   can read the news during the easter holidays and our news server stores
   to news only for a few days.

   Thanks in advance

   Carsten
