Sorry if even my summary was confusing, but if 3M (the tape manufacturer)
and Archive (the drive manufacturer) can't explain this stuff, I don't
hold much of a chance either.
Two final notes:
1) The specific tape drive I talked to Archive about was the
"Archive 2150S".
2) For myself, the safest route is to use the official QIC-150
tape in this and other QIC-150 drives (the 3M DC6150) and avoid
all questions of interchangeability.
