The IBM 7208 Model 012 is an external, stand-alone, SCSI, 8-mm streaming
cartridge tape drives. It features a media capacity of up to 5.0 GB per
cartridge and an instantaneous data transfer rate of 500 KB per second.
Its large storage capacity provides for unattended save/restore capability
and archiving functions. Shelf life of the tape data cartridge is estimated
to be four years. Reliability of the tape data reads/restores is enhanced
through the use of Error Correction Code (ECC) function.
The media kit for model 012 contains one test cartridge, one blank data
cartridge, one cleaning cartridge, and one diagnostic cartridge.
One media kit is included with each model of the 7208.
One SCSI cable is included and must be specified on the initial plant
order. See "No Charge Specify Codes" section.
- The IBM 7208-012 is a 5.0-GB External 8-mm tape drive. Model 012 features
a media capacity of 5.0 GB per cartridge and a sustained data transfer
rate of 500 KB per second. The 7208 Model 012 features data compression
hardware using an adaptation of IBM's IDRC algorithm which provides
an effective capacity of up to 10 GB typical per cartridge and an effective
data transfer rate of 1 MB per second typical, depending on the type
of data transferred. These additional functions and enhancement capabilities
are for the Application System/400* (AS/400*) B, C, D, E, and F models
except the D02 and E02 via the Removable Media Device Attachment feature
(#2621). Alternate IPL is not supported on 9402-D04 and D06 and 9404
B, C, D10, and D20 models. Attachment to AS/400 9406 B models is via
Magnetic Storage Device feature (#2611) using RPQ 841990 and OS/400*
Version 2 Release 2; alternate IPL is not supported on 9406 B models.
For AS/400 models using OS/400 V2 R2, a no-charge RPQ 843782 is required.
Full support is provided by OS/400 V2 R3 on all AS/400* models. Is an
external stand-alone tape-drive device.
- Attaches via SCSI cable.
- Uses an SCSI interface for attachment to RS/6000 (7208 models 001,
011, and 341), or uses a differential SCSI interface for attachment
to AS/400 (7208 models 002, 012, 222, 232, 234 and 342).
