Make sure you have a DC6150 or 6250 tape certified for 12500BPI
because most 150MB streamers including the 2150 will not write
to old 30MB or 60MB media although you can read them.

The drive can tell the type of media from the number and distances of the
small holes at the begin and end of the tape :-)

Other than that the Archive 2150S drive works with almost any
SCSI installation - one of the best around. I have one myself!

A happy New Year!
