As far as I know, Maxell's XL-II tapes are totally different tapes 
from the UD/XL-II series.  I believe that the XL-IIs are normal bias
while the UD/XL-IIs are "chrome" bias.  You probably just grabbed the
wrong box.  I just bought another 10 UD/XL-IIs last week.

On a similar subject, what is a good price for UD/XL-IIs?  I find that I
can get them for around a buck-seventy for a C90 when Silo has them on
sale.  I go through these suckers pretty fast.
