I understand that the current problem has been solved...

But at times long ago you could sometimes force an error (with a usable
"C" option) by manually pushing the buttons on the tape drive to take it
offline and eject the tape. Worst case, you could (for a stand-alone
drive) power off the drive (hopefully once the tape was removed--
powering off with a tape in the drive could result in mangled tape),
also in hopes of forcing an error.
