NOTES:
Use of older cartridge types in SLR140, SLR100, SLR75, SLR60
and SLR7 drives:

compatible with the SLR140, SLR100, SLR75,
drives. The 1650 Oe and 900 Oe media (SLRtape140 down to
DC9250 medium types) are designed to be used with the advanced
MR head designs.
Old cartridge

media types do contain large abrasive particles designed to
clean older metal and ferrite heads. Loading such cartridges

a drive failure to occur. These cartridge types are illegal on
the SLR140, SLR100, SLR75, SLR60 and SLR7 drives.
Care should be taken to avoid any accidental load of 550 Oe
media in the SLR140, SLR100, SLR75, SLR60 and SLR7 drives.

Tape Format Selected (Default Density Code)
These mediums require an unsupported tape format.
The Drive issues an INCOMPATIBLE MEDIUM INSTALLED error
message when an attempt is made to read or write on these
cartridges.
The Drive selects the QIC-2GB-DC tape format (density code = 22h)
The Drive selects the QIC-4GB-DC tape format (density code = 26h)
The Drive selects the SLR6 tape format (density code = 33h)
The Drive selects the QIC-5010-DC tape format (density code = 21h)
The Drive selects the MLR3 tape format (density code = 30h)
The Drive selects the ALRF-2 tape format (density code = 32h)
