I need to get new tapes for our old IBM risc server. We are currently using Imation 4mm dds-90 tapes.
My questions is: Can I just get any 4mm tapes or does it have to be specific?

Thanks

Hi-
You really should get the tapes made for the drive, many 4mm tapes come in different cartridges and lengths, and both need to be compatable with your drive.
A good source of inexpensive tape cart's is eBay, you can save a small fortune over someplace like office max.
