Description
These tests check DLT 8000 drive logs for evidence of SRAM chip
corruption, and they perform a read/write test to check the drive for
susceptibility to SRAM corruption problems. The tests are destructive to
data on the cartridge in the drive. These tests are only available for DLT
drives.
