    Good Afternoon,
        I have done a search in yahoo and Sun Managers and I can't seem to
    find an answer to this error. Just a quick background. Last year I had a
    Seagate Tpae library go bad on me. I had the unit replaced and the one
    we have now is still working. The problem I currently have is, I need to
    read some data from some old DDS-3 tapes we have from last year.
    Whenever I try to read any of these tapes I get the error below. The
    tape library is suppose to be backwards compatible. I am assuming the
    tapes that were written are no good, but if someone has any ideas to try
    something, I am open for help. Will summarize if anything if found.

    Model # : STDL62401LW
     Model interface : SCSI
     Media mfg. : Seagate
     Media type : DDS-4
