EXATAPE 160m XL 8mm Data Cartridges
The EXATAPE 160m XL 8mm Data Cartridge is intended for use in the EXB-8502XL and EXB-8505XL only. The 160m XL tape is equipped with a Recognition System stripe, located on the tape leader, that enables the XL tape drive to recognize the tape as data-quality metal-particle media. To prevent the use of inappropriate media, the EXB-8205XL and EXB-8505XL do not accept 160m tapes without the Recognition System stripe. If you attempt to load a 160m tape without this stripe, the XL tape drive automatically ejects it.
The EXB-8205 and EXB-8505 do not support the 160m XL tape. If you attempt to load any 160m data cartridge into an EXB-8205 or EXB-8505, the tape drive automatically ejects the cartridge.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to use the 160m XL Data Cartridge in the following Exabyte tape drives: EXB-8200, EXB-8200SX, EXB-8500, or EXB-8500c. Although these drives will accept the 160m XL cartridge, these cartridges are not supported by these drives and should not be used.
