- I've got bad news for you I'm afraid, the 5099EN24 is a qic-24 60Mb drive,
- hence the reason you're only getting 60Mb is because that's all it'll do.
- I've got a couple here off mt-02 adapters (same as in the sun), they work
- fine with the amiga as 60Mb units

- well there's nothing to _stop_ you using a dc6150 tape in it, but just like
- using chrome tapes in an audio tape deck that doesn't support them, it won't
- win you anything, they'll stil only hold 60MB. The 5099en24 should use dc600
