Re: QIC2DC cartridges?

I agree, remove the old drive and put the 2GB dude in there. Match the SCSI jumper settings for sure.

I do have a number of QIC Drives here in inventory. Contact me off-list if you need one.

James,
What I suggested was to temporarily remove the QIC4GB/SLR5 drive and substitute the QIC2GB drive from the dead 40S ...  it should work ...

Empirically, I now know that these cartridges will *not* take the
drive's native format (QIC4GB/SLR5), but *will* take a QIC2GB format.

Also empirically, I now know that a GO SAVE 21 still fails on the SAVSYS
with the QIC2GB format, on the V4R4 box, if you don't prompt the
commands, and even if you prompt, and select DTACPR(*YES) COMPACT(*NO).

And there is no unoccupied drive slot where I could put the QIC2GB drive
from the 40s.

Any other ideas?
