Hi again!

Well...no doubt, the drive thinks its in read-only mode, but I dont know
why....C-programs, vdump, dd, tar etc. all say's the same....read only.
Tried with different media's, alle write-enabled, nothing helps. There is no
read-only-button on the drive.

For more info, here is the mt status:
