Re: 6390 data capacity

A 160m 8mm cartridge wil indeed support 7GB uncompressed, 14GB compressed.

I've got someone telling me that the 6390 on their box is capable of 
storing
7GB uncompressed, 14GB compressed on a single 8mm 160m cartridge.  I find 
that
interesting since the cartridges I look at clearly state that they are 
3.5GB
uncompressed, 7GB compressed.

Can anybody using a 6390 fill me in on this?  FWIW, it's running on a V4R4
9404-400.

Oh, and where would I find this kind of information on IBM's web site?

TIA.
