Unfortunately somebody has written an empty save set (maybe an empty file) on the beginning of this tape. Examination with DUMP shows the VOL1, HDR1 and HDR2 blocks followed by EOF1 and EOF2 blocks. The next DUMP command gives an error (fatal drive error), but succeeding DUMPs show 8192-byte blocks which belong to the original save set. Is there a chance to recover the data on this tape (with not too much effort)? Michael
