I have acquired a 7208 model 234 and am having problems initializing to 7GB 
(*FMT7GB).  It can read 7GB formatted tapes, but will only init to 5GB 
(*FMT5GB).

I don't have the manual for this and have been having a hard time finding specs 
on the net.  Does anyone have this tape drive and know what the problem is?

Thanks,
   Ted
