Empirically, I now know that these cartridges will *not* take the drive's native format (QIC4GB/SLR5), but *will* take a QIC2GB format.

Also empirically, I now know that a GO SAVE 21 still fails on the SAVSYS with the QIC2GB format, on the V4R4 box, if you don't prompt the commands, and even if you prompt, and select DTACPR(*YES) COMPACT(*NO).

And there is no unoccupied drive slot where I could put the QIC2GB drive from the 40s.

Any other ideas?
