Specifically, I went from a 120 to a 250, and I'm getting way too many errors on the 250M tapes- on the order of 300, to as many as 1400. I just bought a new 3M 2120 tape, and will format it to see how it does. Thanks for any ideas.

If I were to characterize what I'm "into", it would be this: - HP Deskjet (Color) - with Corel Draw, etc. - Colorado Jumbo tape drive (switched from 120 to 250 - 250 seems MUCH more sensitive to tape quality - older tapes getting 300 or more errors (one even over 1400!) while a new tape got 30 some. - Still like my OLD Toshiba T1000 XE notebook - only 20M, but big enough to do CBBS development in Turbo C, run Foxbase, Quattro Pro, etc. - Interested in color scanning and image processing - can't seem to keep up with the latest in color retouching programs, etc. Msg 45723 is 07 line(s) on 09/14/92 from GEORGE LIMBERG to ALL re: MNP TECHNICAL DATA I am researching a technical paper on MNP modem protocols.
