Hi, I have a SLR 100 tape drive (SCSI interface) and a tape cartridge with 4 files. The first file is damaged so I cannot mt fsf over that file to read the others. Is there a secret way to to advance the tape by a certain number of meters, or by a certain number of seconds or something. I know I would end up at a random position in the middle of a file, but at least I could fast forward over the damaged file. Best regards, Olivier
