We are trying out a wangdat 2600 (2Gb -> 5Gb compressed) DAT tape drive.
This works fine on a magnum (and a 2030) but when we try to use it on
a M120 we can write, but reading causes either the kernel to just hang
(the usual response) or the kernel to panic with a scsi error. Has anybody
else seen this, and know the reason for it/how to fix it?

We are running 4.51 on all machines.
