Reading past end of data on a scsi tape unit

Hello,

I accidently wrote a small file (few kB) on a 8mm tape. Previously
the tape contained a large tar file. As only the first few
tape blocks are rewritten, most of the tar file should stille be there.
BUT the tape driver or tape unit refuses to read past the 'end
of data' marker.

So I'd like to know if it is possible to change the scsi driver
to allow reading past this point?

-Marcel
