DEC didn't sell a whole lot of different 1600/6250 drives. TU78 was probably the most common. and.. as I was writing this I remembered that it was possible to switch densities on that drive mid-tape. I accidentally created a tar tape with two different densities on it. I only tried reading it long after that system was scrapped and found I couldn't.
