Excellent info, thanks. Just for clarification, Rhapsody is not a
program, but Apple's code name for what became OS X.

If I understand your comments correctly, the real problem here is the
block size issue. Reading your post now did trigger a memory, and I do
believe I used tar csf. But staying at the more theoretical side of
things, if I did manage to select settings that the drive could not
handle, what would happen in this case? Silent reblocking? If so, isn't
doing that considering the fact that you can't read it back off with
the same blocking factor a Really Bad Idea?

It really is a DAT. The only reason the term "DLT" appeared at any
point is that I confused the two TLA's. And it doesn't really make a
difference anyway, because the two drives are identical.

I didn't think I was "yelling" though!
