Re: 6382 and 6386

Back compatibility can be problem... The earlier 1/4" drive
at 2gb or less very well might not be compatible with the
newer VERY high capacity drives.

On the other hand, the newer drives can read the older tapes
with little problems.

This document might be of help...

Is it true what I am finding? A tape written by a 6386 can not be read by a 
6382?
