It probably is about double the capacity of your tape drive, and writes a much thinner track of information (because it has double the number of tracks). I have been able to read tapes made on a sun, but I had verified that the sun had a 60 meg drive. JB -- Jonathan Bayer Intelligent Software Products, Inc.
