Is the Wangtek supposed to be able to read 60 MB tapes? (It's a Wangtek 5525 ES) When I tried erasing a tape, it would spin for a minute or two and return with no error. However when I then try to write something on the tape from MSDOS, it hangs. When I try to write something on it from NetBSD it gives an input/output error on /dev/rst0. Marc van Kempen
