SubjectTape access broken in 2.2.0pre
Hi,

I am using an Exabyte tape drive on an NCR53c875 card:

Vendor: EXABYTE Model: EXB-8505 Rev: 0051
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Detected scsi tape st0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 5, lun 0
...
ncr53c875-0-<5,*>: FAST-5 SCSI 5.0 MB/s (200 ns, offset 11)

I have no problem reading from tapes, but even simple writes fail:

erwin:~# cat > /dev/nst0

cat: write error: Input/output error

This operation works fine with previous kernels.

This is 2.2.0pre5, Alpha 21164a:

Linux erwin 2.2.0-pre5 #1 Wed Jan 6 23:47:54 CST 1999 alpha unknown

This behavior also appeared 2.2.0pre4.
