- The 120 MB tapes should be formatted with the medium speed. This was a problem
- under PC Tools 7.1. IF they are Xiamat formatted tapes, try degaussing the tape
- and then formatting them. Also, check which format you are trying to use i.e.
- Qic, or CPS. I have had better luck using the CPS format.
