The number you refer to is more like P6-120 MP. The P6 refers to 6 individual tape tracks; which is of no consequence in data backup drives. The 120 refers to the number of minutes this tape will record/play in video equipment in SP (standard play) mode. The number itself is of no consequence in data backup drives; except that a 120, which is the largest size, will hold twice as much data as a 60, and so forth. The MP stands for Metal Particle tape, and to the best of my knowledge, all 8mm video tapes are metal particle tapes. -- Martin Brooks - Georgia Tech - Atlanta, Georgia, USA uucp: ...!gatech!prism!mb33 Internet: mb33@prism.gatech.edu "I'll be darned, Nancy, if I let you ride me anymore!" - Sylvia Fowler
