We've got a new system (based on SCO ODT 3.x) coming in real soon
that will have an Archive 525mb SCSI QIC tape drive.  Here's what
I'm wondering: I have heard/read somewhere about problems with
different tape drives having problems with different "size" tapes.
All of the systems we presently have in-house have 125 or 150mb
drives and one has a 250mb drive (Archive and Wangtek drives).

Now, I don't think that this new drive will be able to *write*
all formats and I think it will *read* all of 'em.  My question
regards something having to do with perminent damage
(alteration to tape head geometry?) caused by frequent use of
certain tape types in this drive.  What will work reliably?
What (if anything) should we avoid?

While I'm at it: I realize this may not be enough to go on, but
what formats will I be able to read/write with this beast?

Thanks,
Jim
