Well, it depends..... :-) I haven't touched that module in a loooooooong time. When I last did anything with density it was 200/556/800 vs 1600. No idea what anyone else may have done with it in the interim. I found that my own use of TAPEINFO rarely needed density and I used it for ready/not ready and write protected/write enabled tests. According to my rusty memory, the density on the tape is 38k irreguardless of XF or not XF. XF is a compression process that is done in the tape drive or control unit, but the compressed data is still written at 38k. -- Rich Greenberg N Ft Myers, FL, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 239 543 1353 Eastern time.
