I have ver 1.70 and am using Verbatium 2120EXtra tapes which are 1000', 
400 meg uncompressed. They are a long cartridge with the spools in line 
with the drive rather than crosswise. Verbatium is the only brand I've 
seen so far and I got mine at Best Buy electronics stores. My 5 tape 
backup with the standard 2120's dropped to 2 with the EXtra tapes. To me, 
the tapes breathed new life in my old Trakker.
