  For 7980s, 1600 and 6250 are standard and 800 is an
option.
 7980A is HP-IB, 7980S is SCSI (single-ended).  There's also
 an "XC" option which does in-the-drive compression on 6250BPI
 tapes; I think this option does not coexist with the 800BPI
 option. 
I have one of these drives, and am very happy with it.  It would
be even better if I had a manual :)

But, seriously.  I am (desperately :) looking for this 800bpi
module for the drive; I have the XC option which I'm willing to
remove in favor of the 800bpi module.

Does anyone here have an option part number, or, even better, the
option itself ?
