Why don't you try web400 for this topic? It would be just as germane there
as it is here. Or, if you want to do it right, try midrange-l.
Folks, please stop flooding this list with non RPG topics.

It sure can. I have had the same problem. I cleaned it with a cleaning
tape. It didn't help. So I opened a brand new cleaning tape & it didnt
help. I ended up calling IBM. They gave it a good cleaning and then it
worked fine. You can also get messages & delays like you are describing
when your tape drive is about to kick the bucket.
