Summary: I need to recover data from past the End-of-Volume (double EOF) marker on a TK50. A user INITialized the tape and wrote a short save-set at the beginning of the tape and I need to recover the data near the end of the tape. I have tried various programs that people around Caltech have given me, all with no success. The symptom is that the TK50 will get confused and rewind the tape (all by itself, let it be noted!) whenever I try to do anything past the end of volume. I *know* this is the right tape, by the way. And on the few programs that the TK50 doesn't rewind the tape, I get continual PARITY-READ errors from the controller. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Two full years of a graduate student's work are on this tape.
