3. The compression measurements are typical for a 2-to-1 data compression ratio, but the actual ratio is dependent on the data. The maximum time to back up (read or write) on a TLZ09/9L cassette tape in a continual (streaming) mode is system dependent. The efficient use of streaming mode is determined by your operating system. -
Page 12: System Support
1.1.1 System Support As of this printing, the TLZ09/9L device is supported by a variety of Digital systems. Consult your Digital Sales Support representative for a list of supported systems. Your particular system must have an available standard SCSI (Small Computer System Interconnect) port in order to connect the TLZ09 or TLZ9L. -
