RE: IBM 8MM 7208 Model 234 INZTAP Problems

["Shea, David" <DShea@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Does the device description look OK?  Maybe the AS/400 thinks it's a model
that doesn't support 7GB.  The drive might read it OK, but the DEVD might
not allow 7GB...

Subject:        IBM 8MM 7208 Model 234 INZTAP Problems

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
