Thanks a lot. OK, so "TAF" means Tape Alert Flag - makes sense. Do you also happen to know what these numbers mean? As mentioned, I have a few tapes which show "3, 4, 6", and one which shows "3, 4, 6, 20". I guess these numbers have some meaning? Of course I can just act on a base "any entrey means tape is bad", but I would feel better if I were able to understand what went wrong.
