Can anyone identify this problem as being the scsi adapter, the DAT drive
or the tape itself?

The Sense Code is 3, MEDIUM ERROR:
| 3h | MEDIUM ERROR. Indicates that the command terminated with a non- |
| | recovered error condition that was probably caused by a flaw in |
| | the medium or an error in the recorded data. This sense key may |
| | also be returned if the target is unable to distinguish between a |
| | flaw in the medium and a specific hardware failure (sense key 4h).|
The Additional Sense Code (ASC) and Additional Sense Code Qualifier (ASCQ)
indicate:
| 03h 02h T EXCESSIVE WRITE ERRORS |
All from the draft SCSI-2 spec.
I'd say it's either the tape itself or possibly the drive.
