IBM 7208 Model 341 for RS/6000 Systems
High-function and high-capacity for tape backup
The IBM 7208 model 341 20GB
External 8mm tape drive is a stand-alone, SCSI, 8mm streaming tape drive that
attaches to the RS/6000 family of workstations and servers. It provides a media
capacity of 20GB (40GB with 2:1 compression) data storage per cartridge and a
sustained data rate of 3.0MB/sec (6.0MB/sec with 2:1 compression).

compression hardware using an adaptation of IBM's improved data recording
capability (IDRC) algorithm. In addition to reading and writing on new
Mammoth-compatible 8mm advanced metal-evaporated data cartridges, the IBM 7208
model 341 also reads other 7.0GB or 2.3GB 8mm metal
particle tape cartridges and reads the 5.0GB MP tape cartridges written by the
IBM 7208 model 011. Providing an excellent migration and interchange path from
other 8mm tape drives, the IBM 7208 model 341 is a cost-effective solution for
save and restore and archiving functions.
The
IBM
7208 model 341 features:
Cartridge capacity
up to 20GB native per cartridge (40GB with 2:1 compression).
Data transfer rate
up to 3.0MB/sec (6.0MB/sec with 2:1 compression).
Ability to read earlier 7.0GB,
5.0GB, and 2.3GB 8mm tape formats.
Helical scan, rotating head
technology for increased capacity.
Differential
fast/wide SCSI-2 attachment
(68-pin) that connects to differential fast/wide or fast/narrow adapters.
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).
Is an
external
stand-alone tape-drive device.

IBM 7208 Model 342 for AS/400 Systems
High-function and high-capacity for tape backup
The IBM 7208 model 342 20GB External 8mm tape
drive is a stand-alone, SCSI, 8mm streaming tape drive packaged in a black
enclosure that attaches to the AS/400 family of servers and systems. It provides
a media capacity of 20GB (40GB with 2:1 compression) data storage per cartridge
and a sustained data rate of 3.0 MB/sec (6.0MB/sec with 2:1 compression).
This is four times the capacity and six times the data rate of
the previous model, IBM 7208 model 012. The IBM 7208 model 342 features data
compression hardware using an adaptation of IBM's improved data recording
