that's made all the difference. Either I have a bad 150MB drive
(although it's read several 150MB tapes fine), or it just doesn't like
60MB tapes for whatever reason.

Six of the seven tapes I had kicking around read fine with the Tek's
60MB drive. The seventh, which possibly has the most interesting stuff
on, hits a few read errors partway through, and is also compressed so I
don't know whether I can recover it. Typical!

Now to see what's actually on all the others. Probably junk. :-)

cheers
