Since they are not going to support 170 or 7XX boxes, that doesn't leave many machines to put those feature codes in does it ???
This is one way to really leave a lot of older machines in the dust...
They apparently forgot that pledge thing about not leaving any customers behind ???(except those who buy new machines)
I assume the price of hardware is going to be sooo low that everybody will buy one.
I'm just trying to imagine all those billions of backup tapes on obsolete media....(just kidding)
I can hear it now, "Uhhh, those new 200tb tape drives can't seem to read any of our old backup tapes".

Has everyone taken a close look at this list? There are a lot of features many customers have in this list, including such recently (some still currently) sold features as the 4/8GB, 16/32GB, 25/50GB & 30/60GB QIC tapes and 8.58GB & 17.54GB disks.
