DENSITY

Use:  Density for use on certain tape operations (like MOUNT)
Null Value:  Anything except 800, 1600, 6250, or 22500.

      DAT and Exabyte 8200 drives.  For Exabyte 8500 (dual
      density) , DENSITY = 22500 indicates high density (5
      Gbyte) , all others indicate low density (2.5 Gbyte).
