Yes, my Archive tape drive says the following anytime I try and write a tape:

Jan 14 07:00:50 dakkon /netbsd: st0(ahc0:4:0): illegal request, data = 00 00 00 00 00 00
Jan 14 07:00:50 dakkon /netbsd: st0: cannot set selected mode
Jan 14 07:01:17 dakkon /netbsd: st0: bad request, must be multiple of 512

simmons@dakkon[34]% tar cvzf /dev/rst0 edge
edge/
edge/OTE.cardlist
edge/OnTheEdge.cardlist
simmons@dakkon[35]% tar (child): can't write to /dev/rst0 : Input/output error

I asked about this awhile back and a few people said it was in the SCSI controller driver.
