I've heard it said that the only difference between a Q120 and a Q150 drive is either a jumper on the drive, firmware or the driver talking to it. Does anybody really know? If you have a 2150S drive, how do you make it write in Q120 format? Can a 2120S drive be made to write Q150 format? thx... -- J.C.

Webber III jc@skyking.UUCP When we first began evaluating the Archive drive, QIC-150 was not yet ready to ship. We were supplied with a couple to QIC-120 drives. When QIC-150 was ready, Archive sent us a tube of EPROMS. This information is a couple of years old now, so things may have changed.
