Software Distribution Media (6250 bpi Tapes)
Hewlett-Packard has stopped using 6250 bpi tapes for the distribution of HP software with the shipment of
MPE/iX Release 7.0. Customers can no longer sign up for 6250 bpi software distribution media. Customers
with existing contracts that call for 6250 bpi tapes will still receive these tapes for releases prior to MPE/iX
Release 7.0, but all customers are encouraged to update their contracts to use either DDS or CDs as their
software distribution media.
The 6250 bpi tape drives will still be supported for customer usage. HP simply has stopped distributing
software using this media.
