- I have a Wangtek 5150 cartridge tape drive. It can read and write
- 150MB and 250MB tapes. I was wondering if it can read 60MB tapes?
- I know it will not write 60MB tapes, but will it read them?
-
- Specifically, I would like to get the tape upgrade kit for SCO ODT 2.0
- but I don't know what tape format it is sent on. I am assuming 60MB tape
- and that most 1/4 inch cartridge tape drives can read 60MB tapes. However,
- I just don't know for sure.
-
- Any help would be appreciated.
-
- Thanks,
- Scott
