Hello Folks,

I’m having fun time to erase used DDS tapes for reuse. I’ve been collecting 
those over years. Recently, I discovered that with DEC brand tapes, the drive 
reports the cartridges to be write protected, eventhough the slider is closed 
which means, they’re supposed to be writable. I suspect there is a software 
write protect flag on them.

Any thoughs, hints, advices how to unlock these tapes for overwrite?

:wq! PoC
