Title: Tape Cartridges Approved for Server Drives
Date: 4/9/90

Copyright 3Com Corporation, 1991.  All rights reserved.

To use the tape drive as a 150 MB tape drive on a 3S/401 and a
3S/202, you must use the 3M brand DC600 XTD tape cartridge.  This
is the only supported tape cartridge for this mode.

To use the tape drive as a 120 MB drive, you may use the 3M brand
DC600A or the DEI brand Series II Gold.  In addition, you must
modify the CONFIG.SYS file of the server to add the /120 option
to the DEVICE= statement:

    For 3S/20x:     DEVICE=\3drivers\tdrive.sys /120
    For 3S/40x:     DEVICE=\3drivers\tape.sys /120

Only the DEI 600L tape is approved for a 60 MB drive.


Always erase a new tape cartridge twice before using it and clean
the tape heads often.

The list of approved tapes is as follows:

                Archive          Tandberg         Wangtek
                150 MB           150 MB           60 MB
