Hi, can anyone, anywhere tell me how I can trick a DEC TU81+ tape drive,
hanging on a uVax?

What I want to do is:
	Go past the end of tape and copy all the remaining junk there
to a file that backup can read.  We lost some data, and I have had a brain-
storm that it's on the tape I am currently overwriting.

Please mail me asap if you have good info!

Thanks
