One thing we found out here at work is that if the drives are configured
(Wangtek) for 150meg like on our Sparcs, they will read 60 meg tapes but
they won't write on the 60meg tape cartridges!!!

If our situation is unique, any help as to the solution would be appreciated.
Right now, we use 6150 model cartridges for backups.  I can't see any
slot that  makes them special either.

Anyone have a solution?  If this is the case, you might keep looking for
a regular 60 meg drive if DC600 cartridges are cheaper.  On the other hand,
don't some of you have 300Meg drives?  150meg cartridges sure are handy
when we have to backup 1.2Gig B-).
