RE: Tape Drive Compatibility

I'm a little puzzled.  Isn't the 9348 a ½" tape drive and the 7208 an
8mm tape drive?

                Yep, been there, done that.  When I got to the 9348, and
tried to do my
                SAVLIB, it just came up with a message to the operater
that "it didn't like
                the tape, would you like to C INZ R??".  Rats...
