 Hello Michael,
 
 I applied the patch and tested the tape drive.
 
 Both reading and writing all kinds of block sizes worked.
 
 Thanks, Gerard.

  I've prepared a patch for the physio routine:
  
  http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/mlelstv/kern_physio.diff
  
  With this patch I can read and write tapes with e.g. 128 byte blocks.
