just saw a warning about using 6250 tapes inb certain drives designed to 
use 6150 tapes.  causes a change in the wear pattern on the head, which 
may result in increased error rates and reduced head life, especially 
when using 6250 and 6150 tapes in the same drive.

questions:

	will an archive viper 150 work with the 6250 tapes?

	will they damage the drive?

	will switching back and forth hammer the head?

great price on tapes that eat the heads, loses some of its appeal.
