Datasheet

The VXA-2 tape drive supports "X" media. To use "X6", or "X10" media you must have a minimum microcode level in
the VXA-2 tape drive(including the drive in the autoloader) of "2105".
The "X23" and "X Cleaning" cartridge will work with all levels of the VXA-2 microcode.
The VXA-2 Tape drive can write VXA-1 format of data to the 'X' media but 'X' media is not supported in the VXA-1 tape
drive. 'X' media will be ejected by the VXA-1 tape drive.
The VXA-320 tape drive supports only 'X' media and the 'V23' media, all other media is ejected.
