<p>The 7206 Model VX2 and 7208 Models 002, 012, 222, 232, 234, 342, and 345
are external tape units for the iSeries server.</p>
<p>Feature codes 4585, 4685, and 6390, are 8mm tape units that are internal
to the iSeries server.</p>
<p>The following table shows which tape cartridges are compatible with 8mm
tape units.</p>
