Hi,
What QIC formats can the 1/4" tape drive on a Tower write?
Thanks,
Chris

Having just met this one...At least my XP, which is rated at 45 meg for a 450-foot tape, does QIC-120. I've read tapes destined for it on QIC-150 drives on a SPARCStation SLC and an IBM RS/6000, and read and written them on an IBM PC/RT (which uses the same Cipher transport as my Tower, curiously enough). If your tape drive does 120 meg (or whatever...much greater than 60), then it's QIC-150. -- Jay Maynard, EMT-P, K5ZC, PP-ASEL | Never ascribe to malice that which can jmaynard@thesis1.hsch.utexas.edu | adequately be explained by stupidity.
