Question:

I have a 4mm 4g tape drive.  We made a tape and now cannot read the
tape.  The tape maybe compressed or something and he need to know how
to read this tape.

Response:

  ENV:
 -----
  AIX 3.2.5
  TAPE 4mm 4gb  7206-005
  TAPE 4mm 2gb  7206-001  (Not at the site)

  DESC:  The customer wants to know how to write to the 4mm 4gb (005) drive
         so the customer who has a 4mm 2gb (001) can read it?

  ACTION:  I looked at the configuration and their is no density settings
           to speak of with this tape drive.  I am currently checking
           to see how this can be done.

  NEXT ACTION:  researching the answer.

Response:

Wants a call back asap

Response:

  With the 4mm 4gb (7206-005) you can write to either
  4gb format or to 2gb format.

  The 4gb and the 2gb drives use Media Recognition System.  This means
  if you use a product 21F8758 90m DDS |||| tape it will write
  in 2gb format.  If you use product 8191160 120m CD2 it will write
  in 4gb format.


Response:

Response:

  The customer is using hp 90m and 60m tapes.  I don't
  know what kind of media that is.  Please get a hold of the
  ibm tapes from the above.

Response:
