Actually, that is not quite correct.  There was a B-Model change without
converting to E1As that allowed you to use the K tapes.  I doubt it is still
available.

You will also need to have Feature 5781 (extended media support), installed
on your upgraded B1A -> E1A drives.  They replace several internal parts to
allow for the longer tape, and velocity changes.  A 2X drive will have green
parts instead of blue. :-)

If you have a 3494, I noticed a feature 9780, which also must be installed,
so that the library manager knows about the 'K' label on the tapes.
