Upgrade to mt-st version .5b or greater. Older mt versions had known
bugs particularly with positioning. I suggest scsi emulation + scsi
tape rather than ATAPI tape.

Use SCSI emulation instead of ATAPI for the tape device. Also make sure
your mt is >= 0.5.

Try 'hdparm -tT' with simultaneous /dev/hda3 and /dev/hdc3. This gives you
