I use an HP SureStore 4mm/90m SCSI to do backups on my Debain box.
However, I don't use dd to write my backups.  I use tar.  So, I can't
really offer any advice for you.

A quick Google Groups search turns up two other folks who have recently
had similar problems:

Perhaps you could contact one or both to see if they have found a
solution.

A regular Google search reveals these links with possible solutions:
