I'm replying to the net since I can't reach mikey.bbn.com.  We use Memorex
MRX V's on our Ultrix 1.2 VAX 8650.  We have the same soft/hard error problems
during full/incremental dumps.  Our DEC engineer is unable to find anything
wrong with our TU-81.  We have had no problems doing restores from any of our
dump tapes.
