Hi All :)
    Ok... we are on MPE/iX 6.5 pp2 ... tho' this problem has been happening
since we were on 5.5 pp7.... We are also seeing it on both our 979-200 and
928...

   We mount a tape and do a SHOWDEV and there is no (W) displayed... take
tape out... put tape back in and we still no (W) ... on 3rd or 4th try the
tape will be Write Enabled.... cleaning tape drive doesn't seem to help....

Any ideas... thots... Voodoo incantations? hehe
