Tandberg SLR Installation and User's Guide
Enhanced SCSI termination that provides better
stability and noise immunity of the electrical signals on
the SCSI-bus lines.
Adaptive Lossless Data Compression. The hardware
data compression method used with SLR4DC, 5, 24, 7,
40, 50, 60, 75, 100 and 140 tape drives.
When data is written after previously

recorded data, as opposed to overwriting the
previously recorded data.
Advanced SCSI Programming Interface. Standard SCSI
software that acts as a liaison between host adapters and
SCSI device drivers. ASPI enables host adapters and
device drivers to share a single SCSI hardware interface.
SLR feature that allow detection of the best transfer rate to
use for optimizing performance on the SCSI-bus.
Designated by a specific hole pattern on quarter
inch data cartridge media.
There are two ways to compress data on tape. Through the
software data compression feature for the SLR2, SLR3
and SLR4 or using hardware data compression on the
SLR4-DC, SLR5, SLR24, SLR40, SLR50, SLR60,
SLR75, SLR100 and SLR140.
A software program that enables a computer to
communicate with peripheral devices such as a hard disk or
tape drives. Each type of device needs a different device
driver. Device drivers are stored on a computer's hard disk
and are typically loaded into memory at boot time.
