Hi all!!

My tape unit is an HP Colorado 8GB IDE (4GB Real, 8GB Compressed). The
tapetype I use is:

define tapetype HP-COLORADO-4GB {
    comment "HP Colorado IDE 4GB"
    length 3930 mbytes
    filemark 0 kbytes
    speed 560 kps
}

Reading the following:

"[...] When using hardware compression, change the length value based on the
estimated compression rate. This typically means multiplying by something
between 1.5 and 2.0. [...]"

I ask,

A) Can I multiply the length 3930 (4GB) by 2 (8GB)?
B) It will work fine?

Thanks
