- In an attempt to read some tar files from the SCSI tape drive (of a
- Sparcstation 1), I keep getting the message "Media error: I/O error".
- A similar message showed up when I tried to use "dd". Is there
- something wrong with the tape drive? The tape reads and writes fine
- on another machine, so it shouldn't be the problem.
-
- Thanks for any help.
