Trouble with a DLT7000 tape drive

Hello all,

I have found some errors that I get on my tape drive. I am wondering if
anyone would know if this is SCSI card, cable, tape drive or tape issue,
or maybe something different all together. I am using DLT Type-IV tapes
and this is on a FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE system.

TIA,

Jay
