There is a certain amount of Q.A. on documentation, mainly in the form of developers receiving and reviewing it, but since that is hardly our job description and because there is such an immense amount of it, some things slip through the cracks. If you feel there is a real error in documentation whether by giving erroneous information or by omission you can call IBM level 1 support and report it. >As an aside, are these drives writing QIC format?

The answer to this is yes, it is standard QIC, I have written tapes on a PS/2 running AIX and read them just fine on turnkey, which is an AT-bus clone running 386/ix.
