- Hello,
-
- We have a Contemporary Cybernetics tapedrive and are having a little confusion.
- The thing is a 5GB (Cy-8500) model with the compression option and when first
- powered up with a blank tape, shows ~18GB remaining (normal). But as soon
- as we write anything to the tape it goes to 8200 mode, showing ~8GB remaining
- and we're running out of backup space *way* to early.
-
- The question:
- How to get the thing into 8500 mode and make sure it stays that way
-
- Thanks,
-
