RE: 3570 c12 tape drive question

["Sturgeoff, Lorne" <lgs@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Our 3570 was rebuilt many times by CEs until a senior CE determined that
the entire tape stock was defective.  We had IBM Media replace the
entire tape inventory.  Same problem.  The new tapes were also
defective.  We replaced the inventory a second time.  Problem went away.
