If you are going to buy some new tapes, but DC6250s which will store
250MB in QIC-150 format (longer tape)
Please see my post regarding the dangers of mixing tapes on a drive.
In particular, it has been recommended that DC6250's NOT be mixed with
DC600A/DC6150.
Can anyone let me know by e-mail if the post (also a reply to Sue Charles'
message) got out? I can also send a copy by e-mail if anyone needs it.
The post was a summary of information from 3M and Archive on the
proper use and mixing of tapes in QIC-150 and QIC-24 drives.
