HP DAT 160 tapetype

2007-08-08 Thread Rory Beaton 
Someone was asking for this recently and the FAQ threw a tantrum when I tried 
to add it.

Anyway...this is the output of amatapetype for a Hewlett Packard DAT 160 USB 
that we recently acquired. 
Is it common to see a zero length filemark value?


define tapetype HP_DAT160 {
comment HP DAT 160 USB (hardware compression on)
length 65535 mbytes
filemark 0 kbytes
speed 5319 kps
}

You mean, the FOM (FAQ-O-Matic)?

And that's why only 64 GiB fit on your fancy DAT160 tape...
