The new drives can read the old tapes, they can write the old tapes in the new 
denser format, but they CANNOT append to old tapes.  So you must either define 
a new device class as has already been suggested or at time of conversion, mark 
all existing tapes as READONLY to prevent TSM from trying to append to them.
