EXATAPE 160m XL 8mm Data Cartridges
The EXATAPE 160m XL 8mm Data Cartridge is intended for
use in the EXB-8502XL and EXB-8505XL only. The 160m XL
tape is equipped with a Recognition System stripe, located
on the tape leader, that enables the XL tape drive to recognize
the tape as data-quality metal-particle media. To prevent the
use of inappropriate media, the EXB-8205XL and EXB-8505XL
do not accept 160m tapes without the Recognition System
stripe. If you attempt to load a 160m tape without this stripe,
the XL tape drive automatically ejects it.
The EXB-8205 and EXB-8505 do not support the 160m XL
tape. If you attempt to load any 160m data cartridge into an
EXB-8205 or EXB-8505, the tape drive automatically ejects
the cartridge.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to use the 160m XL Data Cartridge in
the following Exabyte tape drives: EXB-8200,
EXB-8200SX, EXB-8500, or EXB-8500c. Although these
drives will accept the 160m XL cartridge, these
cartridges are not supported by these drives and
should not be used.
