Slight corrections to this one:

The SR is     : 1653193722
Patch in work : MPEJXJ5A

Actually you can experience the same behaviour, if one 'subsequent'
medium , which was written hardware compressed before, gets loaded
into a drive (SCSI or HPIB DDS) that does not support hardware
compression

Store does not actually fail, but will ask for media # 2 (or higher)
in kind of a loop, until you feed it with an either "non-virgin" or
uncompressed medium. In the storelisting you will either find mention
of a low level IO error 11 (= cannot identify density , happens with
brandnew media) or 37 for a previously compressed written medium.

Goetz.
