Anyone ever use the new 3M DC6250 data cartridges? The label says they are 250 Mbytes (1020 ft [310.9m]). There's a note about usage of extended tapes on certain tape drives may cause a change in the head wear pattern which could lead to increased error rates and reduced head life, especially when using both standard and extended length tapes on the same drive. Anyone able to comment on this warning? Anyone from SGI? My system is a Personal Iris with the stock QIC-150 drive that came with the system. -- ##################################################################### # CompuServe: >INTERNET:uunet.UU.NET!ki!dwatts Dan Watts # # UUCP : ...!uunet!ki!dwatts Ki Research, Inc. # ############### New Dimensions In Network Connectivity ##############
