Thanks for that Reto, it worked just fine for me now. At least I now know thatI'm dealing with a damaged tape.
Cheers.

@DK10101 Are you sure? You could try to re-format the cartridge.
Thankfully yes, after successfully reformatting the tape I've been able to write to it using ltopers.
Glad it worked out. Thank you for reporting back!
Good point, @dericed, thank you very much! (Now it matches too much and I will try another time to restrict it to valid values only.)
@dericed This regex would match only valid barcodes
\b[A-Z0-9]{6}\b|\b[A-Z0-9]{6}L[5-8]\b|\b[A-Z0-9]{6}M8\b
which can possibly be written… more elegantly.
True, but this would need to be maintained, whereas current mountlto regex would survive (likely) upcoming generations.
Indeed, as it needs to be maintained in the other scripts as well… We could made all scripts accepting length of 6 or 8 without checking that the length 8 is a possible one. Should I open a PR for this?
A nicer regex for the actual test would probably be
\b[A-Z0-9]{6}(L[5-8]|M8)?\b
(untested).
should resolve https://github.com/amiaopensource/ltopers/issues/189 (untested!)
