Using an HP surestore DLT 80 with Imation DLT IV tapes and a quantum 8000 driver. After installing tapes in the drive I have recently started getting the message
"Tape device reported an error on a request to read data from tape. Error reported timeout before function completed"
This is accompanied by the 'tape in use', 'use cleaning tape', '40.0' and 'compress' lights lit.
If I try a DLT IV tape written on a 7000DLT then the unit works fine (no cleaning light) - both reading and writing.
