Quarter Inch Cartdrige (QIC) standards

[Jacques Durosier]

Greetings !

I need information on the Q<uarter> I<nch> C<artdrige> (QIC) standards.
I was told that it should be available from the various manufacturers.

This was tried but so far, the information obtained is incomplete:

	o Hardware standard:
		- QIC 02
		- QIC 36
	o Software standard:
		- QIC 11
		- QIC 24

The software standard is well documented and it is my understanding that
QIC 24 is the 'de facto' standard for *NIX interchange.

The main question remaining is what is the difference between:

		QIC 02 and QIC 36

Are they interchangeable ? (after tweaking with the cables ???)

I will appreciate any help and/or reference to book(s), article(s) on
this subject. Thanks in advance, -- Jacques
