[comp.os.vms] How to init tape marked wrong?

karl@ddsw1.UUCP (Karl Denninger) (01/15/88)

Hi there,

We have a TK70 tape which was 'init'd under RSTS/E on a PDP-11 (using a
TK-50 drive).  The tape now refuses to 'initialize' under VMS, failing with
the message "Software write protect"......

How do we recover from this one?

I have tried every switch to 'initialize' that made any sense, and nothing
seems to change....
