I never had that problem, but neither did I get it to write tapes 
properly on my 9145.  (I seemed to be able to read them, but without 
writing them it was rather pointless...)

I checked in a fix earlier today that improved the behavior of the driver 
significantly for me.  It will be available in tomorrow's SUP, but if 
you're curious and willing to compile a kernel, change the

	#define	C_REL	0x140

in /sys/arch/hp300/dev/ctreg.h to

	#define	C_REL	0xc0

instead.
