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.

Duncan
