The SDX-550V can be used with data cartridges marked with the AIT-E Turbo, AIT-1 Turbo, AIT-2 Turbo, AIT-1 or AIT-2 logo. Be sure to use only the cartridges designed specifically for AIT. ⷠDo not use anything but AIT cartridges with this system, as doing so can damage the AIT drive. Although commercially available 8 mm videotapes resemble AIT cartridges in appearance, they have entirely different specifications and cannot be used. The SDX-550V conforms to the Microsoft PC97 standard, which requires the internal (naked) drive to be terminated with an external terminator. microsoft PC97 SCSI requirements SCSI peripherals must not terminate the bus.

When writing data onto a WORM cartridge, it is appended after data that has already been written onto the cartridge. Accordingly, move to the EOD area before writing data onto the cartridge. The WORM drives support the same SCSI commands that are supported by non-WORM drives. [. . . ]
