RE: SLR60 QIC on model 720 (calling Dr Franken)

Cyndi,

Yes - the 7208-222 supports 7GB format on 160m tapes.

The drive ejects everything instantly, even cleaning
tapes.  Looks like a hardware problem.

The backup done on the model 720 on the weekend can;t
even be read by the same tape drive on the 720 that
wrote it.  I suspect the tape drive was dirty when the
backup was done (they weren't marking their uses of
the cleaning tape and I think it long ago reached the
end - had them get out a new one).
