for what-it's-worth department:
Pasted in below is the output of running tapetest on the built-in tape
drive on my Dell PowerEdge 2450 rack-mount server, using DDS-2 tapes. I
edited the definition for my system.
If there's any other information that I could provide to make this more
useful, please ask, and I'll be glad to send it in.
Hope this helps someone.
