Thanks to all who responded, both on-list and off-list.

Summary:
        While READING, the 7980S will always default to whatever it
finds
        on the tape currently loaded. If no format can be found (?
bulk-
        erased tape?) it will use the setting below.
        While WRITING, it will use the desity as set with the CONF 46
        setting.

So, to fix my problem I had to set CONF46 to 1600, rather than 6250, and
it worked. :)

Cheers,
        Fred
