If I remember correctly, all I did was more-or-less copy the entry for the
one other HP DAT in the source and rename it to 35480A. It didn't work, but
it seemed that the problem I had was to do with the tape being written 
on a DDS-2 drive. So I'd be interested in Jim's hack to get the block sizes
to work (since that's what it complained about), but my hp300 is on the other
side of the world right now, so it doesn't really matter.
