EXB-8200 only gets 1gb on a 112m tape.

[J. Hart]

     I have been trying for quite some time without success to figure
out why my EXB-8200
will only get 1Gb on a 112m tape.  According to the tape drive
documentation, it should be
able to hold up to 2.5 Gb on such a tape.

   Except for this problem, the drive works perfectly.  Since the
EXB-8200 is only a single
density drive, the mt setdensity command does not appear to be supported
for anything 
other than a non-zero value (the driver default).

Here is my system configuration :

   EXB-8200 SCSI1 tape drive
      servo code level C034  (June 26,1991 - latest version)
      firmware level 263H (Oct 15, 1991)
         minimun firmware level recommended by Exabyte for the EXB-8200
for
            Linux is 2618 (March 19, 1991)
   OS
      RedHat 6.1
      kernal 2.2.12-20
      Adaptec AIC7xxx driver version: 5.1.27/3.2.4

Any ideas ?
   
Many Thanks....:-)
