Super DLT tape drive

[Paul Crittenden <crittend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We got a new Alphaserver DS20e, running Tru64-UNIX v5.1, over the summer. 
IT has a tabletop SuperDLT 110/220 tape drive for backup. In the last month 
or so I have placed 3 service calls on it. Each time it seemed to go out to 
lunch and forget how to backup. Each time I tried to use a cleaning tape in 
case that was the problem and each time the leader came off. Is there a 
known issue of some kind with drive? Personally I don't think this SuperDLT 
is so SUPER.
