If you may all recall, I did post some links on this for the originator, in
the event that the eom/eof was no good!

Similarly, I would think you could send the tape out to the pros.  Like you
do with dead hard drives.

Hi Mike

Sorry but I have to disagree, as I have been part of a group where we did it
this. Unfortunately I don't work at that company anymore so I don't have
access to the scripts and documentation we did.

Actually you could use mt to change EOM to EOF.

Regards
Michael
