>Description:
When writing to a write-protected tape in a Wangtek 51000 tape drive
nothing is written but no errors are reported.  The SCSI controller is
a Symbios 860.
>How-To-Repeat:
Insert a write-protected tape in the tape drive and run dump to output
to it.  Dump output looks normal (except for *much* higher than possible
transfer rate for this drive) but the tape in the drive never moves
(it is selected, i.e., its activity light turns on).

 Everyone seems to say that when I touch old PR's.  :)  Thanks for taking
 the time to retest this.
