Hello netpeople,
I'm administrating HP 9000 Series 400 workstations, just
started last month. And couple weeks ago, I received HP 9144A
cartridge tape drive. It's works fine. Now, I need some blank
cartridge tape for backup. We use 3M DATA CARTRIDGE TAPE for
SUN workstations, but it is a different kind of tape.
In the HP 9144A manual said that cartridges are available
from HP, part no.88140LC, 88140SC with two kind formatted
and certified. It does not mention other company like a 3M.
But software FrameMaker from Frame Technology Corp. used
3M tape to distribute a software.
Question:
Can I get compatible cartridge tape from 3M?
Do I need formatted cartridge tape?
Thank you for your help!

re: > And couple weeks ago, I received HP 9144A cartridge tape drive. > Can I get compatible cartridge tape from 3M? > Do I need formatted cartridge tape? You must REALLY want an answer, because we got 8 copies of your question in a single article! Anyhow, the generic industry designation for the 88140SC and 88140LC is DC615HC and DC600HC. The HP version of these cartridges is pre-certified, includes HP legends/labels and may conform to other quality standards not required on a generic 'HC cartridge. I would suggest performing ... # mediainit -vr /dev/rct ...on any generic 'HC cartridges. This will spare any bad blocks. The 3M HCD-75 tape format requires full-track "keys" be written on the tape delimiting the 1.5Kbyte physical (1K logical record) blocks on the tape. The 9144A has only a 1/16-track head, and cannot format a non-HC tape, npr re-format an 'HC tape that has been deguassed or written on (and ruined) by a QIC drive. I have a longer article available on HP tapes. HP does not support the use of non-HP tapes. That is, you can do it, but we aren't obliged to resolve any problems that might arise.
