A quick tape question - I've got an exabyte 8500 connected to one of my
ss5 boxes, and the drive keeps rejecting the tapes I feed it. Does anyone
know what kind of tapes to feed these guys? I have a bunch of sony
qc-112m tapes, which I thought would be right.
I actually just upgraded the firmware on the unit; it used to take the
tapes before, and generated tons of media errors under 1.4.1; now it
simply refuses the tapes.
TIA.
