Hi, me again The only tapes I have managed to find for the drive I got from work are 112m long. The exabyte 8200 DIP switch page http://www.exabyte.com/suppserv/techsupp/8mm/fullhigh/in0011.html says * If you use 112m EXATAPE data cartridges, it does not matter how switch 8 is set. The tape drive must be told to expect a 112m cartridge through the MODE SELECT command. The MODE SELECT command overrides the power-on setting defined by the DIP switch. For more information, see the EXB-8200 User's Manual (510006), available from Exabyte. I don't have a manual so can someone email me the right command (or amanda settings etc). Thanks.
