Buzz, I used a 3570 for five years here at ECHO. More than once, I inadvertently moved the write protect tab while handling a cartridge and didn't realize it until our backups failed. Just wanted point it out that it's not that hard to move the tab. Fortunately, we bought a 3581 when we upgraded to an i5 in the Spring. They both rock!

We've had IBM hardware support look at ours (more than once) and have not found any cause yet, which is a real bugger when your GO SAVE decides to balk on you at 2:00 AM Saturday morning!
