We have a bunch of those here. As I recall, when you load the tape it will
read what's on it and set the density automatically to match what is already
on it. I think there's a way to override that... let me check with the
people here that use them.

Damn HP !
I'm (still) the proud owner of a HP 7980S SCSI 9-track magtape
drive, and dammit, I need some config info for that thing.. it
WILL NOT write tapes at 1600bpi. Does anyone here have a tip,
or, better, a manual for that thing??
(no, CONF 46 wont force it to 1600...)
