9track drive woes

I've finally got my StorageTek 2920 9-track drive talking to my Emulex
QT13 QBUS->PERTEC adaptor under VMS... It *appears* to read the tapes OK
(I have no VMS formatted tapes, so I'm just guessing here), but when I try
and INITIALIZE MUA0:, the drive spins the tape for a second and then gives
me a "CC7" on its display and "Mach Chk" flashes. VMS calls it a 'parity
error'. Anyone know what is going on with this thing?

Thanks.
