NOTE
1. The TLZ09/9L is compatible with 60 m cassette tapes written on the
TLZ04 in the noncompressed mode only.
2. The TLZ09/9L is compatible with the TLZ06/6L using 60 m and 90
m tapes only, and with the TLZ07/7L using 60 m, 90 m, and 120 m
tapes.
3. The compression measurements are typical for a 2-to-1 data
compression ratio, but the actual ratio is dependent on the data.
The maximum time to back up (read or write) on a TLZ09/9L cassette tape
in a continual (streaming) mode is system dependent. The efficient use of
streaming mode is determined by your operating system. Please refer to your
system software documentation.
