You may have touched upon something. The drive responds
differently when you put in a blank tape vs an "initialized" tape.
However, I tried the tests with an initialized tape, although the tape
was initialized under Windows.
I wonder if the "Invalid field in CDB" error is meaningful. If I
find the time, I'll play with camcontrol to send different LOAD UNLOAD
CDBs to the drive.
