I ran "tapetype" just two days ago with a very similar configuration.
The tape drive is a Sony SDX-400C with a SDX1-35C tape. Here were the
results with hardware compression turned off.
define tapetype AIT-SDX1-35C {
length 33280 mbytes
filemark 0 kbytes
speed 4062 kps
}
The only difference should be the speed. I don't think the above
would have changed your tape error listed below but you may find it
useful.
