Overview
========
The TSZ07 Tape Drive is a high-capacity streaming, nine-track, reel-to-
reel, half-inch magnetic tape drive unit with the capability of reading or
writing in one of two selectable recording densities. The drive is designed
for the interchanging of data, archival storage, software distribution,
online transaction management, and the backup of small and large computing
systems. Connection to external computer equipment is by way of an onboard
Small Computer System Interface (SCSI 2) which conforms to the American
National Standard Institute (ANSI) specification X3T9.2/89-042. The TSZ07
Tape Drive comes with either a single-ended or differential-ended SCSI
interface. Single-ended drives allow a total SCSI bus length of 6 meters;
differential-ended drives allow a total SCSI bus length of 25 meters.
The TSZ07 reads and writes data at 100 inches per second (ips) in either the
Phase Encoding (PE) format at 1600 bits per inch (bpi) or the Group Code
Recording format at 6250 bpi. The drive uses industry-standard 0.5-inch wide
tape with any of four reel sizes, 6.0, 7.0, 8.5, and 10.5 inches. The three
larger tape reel sizes are auto-loaded by the TSZ07. The 6-inch reel size
does not have the same tape loading characteristics. Manual loading may be
required depending on the amount of tape on the 6-inch reel. Greater than
300 feet of tape is required for auto-loading to be achieved with a high
degree of confidence. Communication to the drive is by way of the SCSI 2
interface at a synchronous rate of 4 Megabytes (1.5 Megabytes asynchronous)
per second.
The standard features of the drive include:
- Mounting in standard 19-inch EIA/RETMA rack (rackmount version)
- Automatic tape loading and threading
- Drive parameters configurable from the front panel
- Eight-character alphanumeric display on the front panel
- Automatic read/write retry
- Autoranging ac power supply
