Hi list,
I'd like to delve into the collective knowledge of those out there,
with the following questions:
(apologies if the TZ875N isn't quite 15 years old and is as such OT)
1) This changer currently has a 10/20GB (DLT2000) drive in it. Tapes
for this (DLT 3) are hard to find on ePay. However, the 15/30GB DLT
3XT tapes are plentiful. What would happen if I tried using those?
2) Can I remove the DLT2000 drive and fit say a DLT4000 and will the
changer still work?
2a) ISTR some discussion a while ago about the drives having to be a
certain specific type (marked "Changer Only" or somesuch) to be
useable in a changer. Is this right, or can I just slap any old
DLT4000 I find in there?
Sorry this is a bit vague - I haven't taken the thing to bits yet.
Looking at its construction, it's going to be quite a challenge to do
so.
TIA,
Ed.
