Yes you can, but you need to upgrade to at least 3.1.2.50. We needed to do
so. Lower levels will not be able to use the extended length feature.
But when you use both tape lengths at the same time you have to do the
following first, or else you will end up having many read/write errors. This
is because the difference in number of tracks.
1. update all single length tapes to access=reado
2. move alle data of all single length tapes to scratch tapes.
3. update all tapes back to access=readw
The tape drives will not be able write 256 tracks on a 128 tracks tape.
