I have a Colorado Jumbo 350 which is recognised and i can send commands
to, move the tape, view tape dirs, etc, but apparently can't write
successfully with the DC2120XL (350MB) tapes (error when it reaches end
of a track, apparently not expecting such a length of tape).  I haven't
tried yet with the plain DC2120 (250MB) tapes, but i have a feeling they
would work fine.  (BTW, anyone know if 'ft' actually supports the
DC2120XL or even the new DC2120EX tapes?)
