I can speak mainly for sun3's here.  They use a standard 600' cartridge.
Putting the cartridge in wrong doesn't damage anything -- it just doesn't do
anything.  It's a SCSI drive, so the fact that it's VME is irrelevant unless
you want to buy a drive from someone else.  I believe that these cartridges
are also used by many PC backup units as well as the MicroPDP11 TK25 drive.
