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.
