- 3M used to put a warning on 250 Mbyte tape drives to not swap between 150 and
- 250 Mbyte cartridges, but I've only been using 150 Mbyte cartridges and it
- doesn't seem to have them. I once called 3M, and the only thing they told me
- was that it wouldn't hurt if there was occasional use of one or the other, but
- they recommended picking one size for all regular use.
