I'm also getting errors But IO_error = 42 (Phase error) using a Hardframe and
a TEAC MT-2ST/45S Digital Cassette tape drive.
I sent the info to DrBob and he is looking in to removing the READ_CAPACITY
at some time...??!! The HardFrame is at 1.5 and I hope to have the new Eprom
Sometime in the future..
