- My guess is that these are QIC-40 or QIC-80 tapes. CMS gets 120MB of
- compressed data on its QIC-40 DC2120 tapes, but only 60MB of uncompressed
- data. They get up to 250MB of compressed data on their QIC-80 DC2120 tapes
- (using their 250MB backup tape drive), but only 120MB of uncompressed data.
